Paul, take a look at this web site and check the products. Just in case
something is there we can use.

I was admiring their remote mount 'Thermofilter'.  Real nice.  Then I
checked the price - $465!!  Their thermostat only is $225!

Racing Beat's remote mount is $49.  Summit sells a Permacool remote mount
oil thermostat for $39.95.  What's the big difference?  I note that the
Permacool unit has only 1/2" ports, but says it flows 20 gpm.  I wonder at
what pressure drop.

It seems that having a oil thermostat would be quite important; but does
introduce another single-point failure mode (fail closed).  Maybe run two in
parallel.

What's the take on puting the oil filter in the hot side of the loop rather
than downstream from the cooler.  I seem to recall a posting here some time
ago saying that the filter life is significantly reduced.  Do I recall
correctly?
