Jonathan,
I had done 450 hours with the original installation with the oil cooler behind
the water radiator.
I have now done 1780 hours with the new installation, the last 1330 hours with
the 912S fitted.
I used small Lord rubber mounts to isolate the cooler from the engine.

some
kind of 'rubber' suspension blocks to minimise the risk of engine vibrations
causing the oil cooler core to crack.
