I think I purchased from the place you are referring to. Very happy with what arrived in post.

Thanks Mousie...I have a thing about ebay I guess, but can't say I have read anywhere of some one having a drama with these coolers as a replacement.
The one I bought previously and have here looks exactly the same as the OEM...probably is made by the same crowd in reality...
I reckon I’ll grab one, the site says they have sold 51 of them so there are obviously a few in use.
As you note too drover, the fitment of the gasket is a big concern, has to be done properly or it will leak. I often wonder if the leaking oil cooler issue is more a gasket failure than the actual cooler failing?
It’ll be the guys at 7 Slot doing mine again this time.
IFLYRC…I replaced the whole lot last time, the support bracket and the cooler, was all I could buy at short notice at the time...just the actual oil cooler itself with a new gasket is usually all that needs doing…
