Swivelseal are easier since you can turn the fittings and rotate the hose before you tighten everything down. The fittings are just bloody expensive.

I can duplicate a $600 Japanese oil cooler set for 50% of the price by using an earl's cooler. You just have to bring your own brackets to hang the cooler and you have the best oil cooler setup on the market bar none.

I pieced together my takegawa unit as I like the way it mounts on the front of the engine since the 12V CT70 has little mounting points on my project.
