Oil cooler on a ZF 12 gearbox?

[galeus]

Had mechanic to come and fit our new ZF 12M gearbox replacing the previous one (same model no.) and there are a few differences that have yet to be resolved. The new one has the gearchange lever on the opposite side of the casing which is not a big problem to change, though I will have to get a longer Morse cable. The main difference is that there seems to be no provision for fitting an oil cooler. The old one has one fitted but the hose type fittings for the oil aren't there, nore are the mounting points on the casing. I have been in touch with the supplier (Midland Chandlers) and they have told me there does not seem to be one specified for this gearbox.
Anybody else come across one of these?

The data sheet shows it only needs a cooler if a certin power input is exceeded. https://diesel-bec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ZF_12_M.pdf

Thanks Plum, I'd seen this page before but not read it thoroughly enough. I don't need to get one according to this info as I don't exceed their limits, bit of a strange bit of kit as it doesn't seem to have any direct interface with the oil, just seems to attach to the casing and wick heat away, or so it seems.
