I've just ordered the KAON Transmission Cooler kit for my 1GD GX Prado. I like the idea of a mounting bracket kit rather than the plastic through-radiator mounts that Davies Craig supply.
However, the KAON brackets are stainless steel and the oil cooler mounting flanges appear to be aluminium. From my recent experience with a aluminium/stainless steel combination, when exposed to the weather, the aluminium corodes relatively quickly where it touches the stainles steel.
My question: does anyone know what sized bolts are supplied with the KAON kit? I'm thinking of ordering some nylon shoulder washers (also called "top-hat" washers) to keep the two different metals apart. (I know the KAON video refers to M6 bolts on the body ends of the mounting brackets).
