Without seeing a pic, I'm going to guess Airbus A320. Thats my Final Answer!

I dont have the part it was spoted at a srplus store about 2600 miles from me by a friend. It looks similiar to the oil cooler on a dc3 but the thermostat is different

Peter, perhaps a call to an overhaul facility, such as American Oil Cooler Service (just as an example), would be a good direction for you to go. I reckon someone like them would be the most likely candidates to have manuals or such that could help you identify them.

Just a thought.
