Anyone got any pics and/or measurments of the factory oil cooler fittings?

    I have this massive oil cooler from an rx7, kind of looks like a tube and fin intercooler except its full of oil, and wanted to mount it up to the 300, but it's got these screw-in type fittings, and the factory 300 one seems to just have the hoses go over the end with some clamps.

    Anyway, I was thinking I could either go screw-in adaptors (which would let me convert to proper fittings later) or I could get the fittings modified.

    Obviously I could just pull the thing out myself and see but if someone can tell me measurements I can save myself an oil drain (which, at $50 a pop for 5L of good synthetic, is at least worth trying for :)

    Also, would it matter which side was the oil pickup and which side was the oil return (ie you can't hook 'em up backwards, can you?)

    Thanks for reply, but was actually after pics of the fittings w/o hoses att

    attached, or alternatively a name (like, for example, could I go in and ask for 2 x 8mm male barb fittings to adapt to this oil cooler).

    It's just that the car's at my mate's house and it wold save me heaps of times to get the fittings sorted now.
