WAT DA! vw doghouse oil cooler adapter to case, 3 studs, 2 studs too big? WAH?

hey hey!

the adapter that stands up the dog house oil cooler, its got the 3 studs that go into the top of the case.

the 2 studs to the side of the motor towards the barrels (not the one centre one) are too big for the holes. the holes are for a smaller bolt diameter. There is no thread in the holes for the stud, you just use a nut and washer on the other side.

DO i just redrill the 2 holes in the case to fit the larger studs? any tips? is this stuff just random? its got vw logo's pressed in.

BTW:

KOMBI 1600 dog house oil cooler and adapter
TYPE 3 dual carb 1600 case

haha, going into a type 1 bug, doesn't get more mixed than that :P

regards,
Chris.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated.
cheers 🙂

just drill the holes out 👍

x2

also make sure you got the right seals for it

theres that many different seals for oil coolers its easy to get the wrong ones

theres no greater punch in the face than firing up an engine for the first time only to get oil pissing out from the oil cooler

yep drill out then get the conversion stud to screw into the case , did this conversion not long ago .
you can also get the dipstick conversion plate too , rod penrose had one , or make your own .
you also have to drill and tap out for oil pressure switch .

Thanks guys.
That ain't too bad then!
its good it ain't an iron block :P

yea this type 3 engine conversions rockin on well. this is the last part to sort, i got the pressure switch sorted and the dip stick convertor thingo for $10 from sunny california. 🙂 Rolling on nicely!

Yes,

I did that many years ago to My 1500 case...
for a doghouse oil cooler...

then for an adaptor with external oil cooler..
