the frame or exhaust system interferes with the new

COOLER LOCATION (COOLER SOLD SEPARATELY)
MOUNTING
Cooler can be mounted anywhere space permits. When selecting the best location
for your vehicle, always consider a location that will deliver the maximum airflow.
1. Holding the cooler in place use a marker to identify the four mounting hole
locations.
2. Using a drill and 9/32” drill bit, drill the four mounting holes in the desired location.
3. Using the 1/4-20 Bolts, Washers & Lock Nuts Included, install cooler.

SANDWICH ADAPTER INSTALLATION
The Sandwich Adapter fits between the oil filter and the engine block. Before
removing the oil filter, check the clearance between the bottom of the filter and the
closest vehicle obstruction. If there are none, then proceed with the installation.
Otherwise, the Sandwich Adapter is 2-1/4” Thick, so you will need 2-1/2” more
clearance then stock. If you determine that the stock filter will not fit, refer to the
Filter Chart for alternative filter heights.
