Setrab Oil Coolers Engine Oil Cooler Mounting Kit

A high-performance oil cooler is only as reliable as the way it is held in the car. Engine vibration, chassis flex and road shock can fatigue a core and its fittings over time. Setrab Oil Coolers' mounting kits are designed to solve that problem, giving the brand's brazed aluminum coolers a secure, isolated home on the chassis, subframe or bulkhead.

Purpose-Built for Setrab Coolers

Setrab is a Swedish heat exchanger specialist, founded in 1968, that designs its products in Malmö and has supplied oil coolers to automakers such as Volvo and Saab since the 1980s. Its mounting hardware is engineered around the same cores that have been popular in racing for decades, so the brackets match the cooler's dimensions and mounting points rather than relying on generic universal hardware.

ProLine STD Mount Kits

The core of the range is the ProLine STD mount kit, offered in sizes matched to the 1-series, 6-series and 9-series ProLine STD coolers and Fanpacks. Key features include:

• Rib-reinforced aluminum construction that keeps weight low while standing up to hard use. The design is described as race-proven and Baja-tested.
• Bulkhead-style mounting orientation with 70A durometer damping pads that isolate the cooler from vibration.
• Complete hardware in the kit: a pair of brackets with rubber damping pads, threaded backing plates and bolts.
• Series-specific sizing, with separate kits for the 1-series, 6-series and 9-series, so the bracket spacing fits the cooler it was designed for.

Universal Mounting Tabs

Setrab also offers a universal ProLine mount kit supplied as a pair, with rubber dampening pads on a black powder-coated steel tab. It suits builds where a full bracket set is not required, or where a custom fabricated mounting location is planned. As with the full kits, the rubber pads keep the cooler's core from being hard-mounted to a vibrating structure.

Why Vibration Isolation Matters

Oil coolers see constant pulsation from the oil system and, depending on location, heavy vibration from the engine bay or chassis. Rigid mounting can transmit that stress straight into the cooler's tanks and port connections. Rubber-damped brackets absorb much of it, which helps protect the fittings and hoses that connect the cooler to the engine. This is especially valuable for off-road, track and rally use, where impacts and sustained vibration are routine.

Choosing the Right Kit

• Match the series. Select the kit that corresponds to your cooler's series (1, 6 or 9) so the bracket spacing fits the cooler's mounting tabs.
• Plan airflow. Position the cooler where it receives clean airflow, and use a Fanpack where airflow is limited.
• Use proper fasteners. Mount to solid chassis points and keep hoses routed with adequate slack so the cooler can move slightly on its pads.
