how do i mount my oil cooler on the back of my block?
i have a 18" oil cooler that i plan to mount on the back of my block like the hp500. how should i go about mounting it? i am trying to keep this cheap, maybe fab my own bracket or maybe there is a stock bracket that is chaeper that would work. any suggestions would be a great help. thanks!

Like always nothing cheap with boat parts. Seems like I paid about $80 for the mounts. I however mounted mine down low. Not on the lower stringer but the side of the box. I think we emailed about this a while back, I still do not have my engine or mechanicals back in or I would send you a pic.

i actually just figure something out, took a piece of angle iron(?) from a bed frame and mounted it on the back of the bell housing and using 2 hose clamps to hold it on. not billet but it is very secure and it works. will look nice even though it sounds ghetto lol.

I may be able to scrounge up the brackets for a 2" oil cooler. The brackets bolt to the top of the bell housing.

True. Just be thankful you don't own a plane.
Is this how you wish to mount your oil cooler on the rear of your motor? Not a great pic but you can see the Keith Eickert oil cooler to bravo mounting brackets (2). I personally like the KE electronics mounting plate/bracket assembly. Makes for a nice neat package.
