Mc connel oil cooler

What size/type/brand of oil cooler do I need to purchase to retro fit to a mc connel 5455. Where is the best place to put it? Pictures of one fitted to a 5455 or similar machine greatly appreciated. What is the oil flow on a 5455? And how much can I expect the whole thing to cost (roughly)

I don't think the previous post has got the full grasp of what @joe soapy requires for an air blast oil cooler. The attached pictures will probably explain it better than words. Basically its like a vehicle radiator with a electric fan cooling the return hydraulic oil before the return filter and hyd tank. Usually I like to put all the return oil or if that's not possible at least the largest flow through the cooler. As well as a fan I like to tee in a check valve between the in and out let ports. So if there is an internal blockage inside the matrix the check valve lifts and allows the oil to bypass back to tanks and prevents any breakages.
As for price I will have to look at previous jobs and send you a quote.
