I cant remember which rubber gaskets I put in, I suspect it was the 10 mm. 10mm seals won't even begin to seal if you have spacers under there. Here's what you need to do: look at the part of the cooler that you can see; the late one (10mm holes) has a part number stamped there, the early one (8mm holes) does not. If the case is a single oil pressure relief valve case it is 8mm, if it is a dual RV case it is 10 mm. For some reason, the correct 10mm seals often do not come in the gasket sets that we get. The 10mm seals are a 021 VW number. Check out which cooler and case you have and let me know. Then I can tell you which combination of spacers and seals you should have. > I also had to make a special set screw for the cooler, the universal Brazil case i > bought had a M8 thread in the case for the cooler, and the T3 cooler have a M6 > hole...

I don't knodK€³ hat is an 8mm hole in the new cases; is it possible that the late type 1 cooler adapter uses an 8mm stud here? That would actually make sense.
