I don't have any pics from up underneath yet but I'll give it a shot.
This is the thermo itself showing oil flow. It doesn't open the ports to the cooler until the oil is @215 degrees. BTW there are larger copies of all these pics in my gallery should you need them.


Mine is mounted horizontally on a lower cross member with the cooler ports facing down. The plumbing then goes under the steering rack but above the sway bar and through the radiator bulkhead low on either side.




In this pic if you look under the front end you can see some of the plumbing coming from the cooler to the thermostat. BTW, it did have to open up and use the cooler on my runs through the Tail of the Dragon. That was “spirited” driving but not even close to race pace and the air temp was in the 50s.


Here you can see that my cooler lines pass through the rad bulkhead much lower than you see most Cobras and that's because of the lines coming from the thermo rather than the remote oil filter.


Did that fill in the grey areas?
