want to get a sandwich plate that will replace my oem oil to water cooler once i get the fm thermostat cooler.
if you don't know the fm is designed to use the stock cooler as a spacer or you have to buy a spacer from them/have one made. was going to use a sandwich plate as the spacer so i could run my oil presser and temp gauge senders off of it.

Yeah, when you buy the 1.6 model of their thermostat plate, you get an aluminum spacer that is dimensionally identical to the 1.8 oil-water exchanger. (They also send a 1.8-length threaded tube.)
So just ask 'em for that spacer.
Or, you could always leave the stock cooler in place. If you DD this car, it's nice to have it there as a preheater.

Put the sensor probe in the pan or get a #10 union with a port in it. Their out there, and I think LRE in Irving has them.
You may also be about to double stack plates on top of the stock cooler.

Yes, and let the oil drain out the hole. There is a screen on the pump neck and a filter to keep metal out. Be a man. Buy omori gauges too...or buy my orange greddy oil temp gauge so I can replace it with an omori.

The deja vu in this thread is strong.
