mounting oil cooler adapter

[labrat99]

I recently bought an oil cooler ... I got all the parts except whatever attaches the adapter plate to the bottom of the motor. My question is how does the adapter plate fasten to the motor? Any help or photos that show the part I need would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a big holow nut that holds the adapter plate to the crankcase, into which the filter housing bolt screws in.
See part #17 in this drawing:

You may be missing the part, it should have come with the plate...

So the oil filter bolt threads into the adapter bolt which threads into the engine case. Is that correct?

Anybody have suggestions as to where I could get one of these adapter bolts? The cooler is a Lockhart.

Thanks for the pictures, guys. I appreciate your help.

I have a oil cooler which I am sure is aftermarket. It says Kerker on the cooler. There is no bolt that holds the adapter plate to the case for me. It just sits on top of the oil filter holder and the single bolt holds the hole thing in place. I don't know if this mystery bolt is missing in my case or not, but mine does not leak and it seems to be working OK.

I saw an XS11 once that had one of its lines connected at the area near the oil pressure sender unit/oil line. I don't know if such a configuration is even useful.

I did not mean to confuse if I did. When I said top, this is still under the engine between the crankcase and the oil filter case.

When I bought my bike, the oil cooler was hooked up like the one you described. The pipe behind the cylinders is the oil delivery line for the top end, and by bypassing it, you're just sending the oil to the cooler before it gets to the cams. I don't see any harm in doing it that way, except the fact there will be lines running over the top of the engine, and another source for a potential leak.
