914World.com _ 914World Garage _ oil cooler brackets

Posted by: synthesisdv Sep 11 2004, 03:56 PM

There are a pair of coolers, these brackets were 4 hour to fab, about 3.5 hours longer than I planned. Gotta do the second set sunday.

Planning on mounting coolers out back. If they work out I'll let you know.

Looks good are you mounting it under the trunk?

In the are where the stock muffler is located. Removed the old brackets. Don't plan on running at idle more than 1 minute, on the grid or in the pits.

I think there will be quite a bit of airflow back there between 80 => 130 mph.

I am prepared to move them or duct them if there is not enough cooling capacity.

Won't know till she runs at speed.

Hard to see in the pic, but are you using any rubber insulators between the mounts and the cooler?

Pieces look very nice (just like the rest of you car)

Yes,

rubber spacers at each of the 8 mounting points. They are not in the picture, waiting on proper hardware from the UPS man.
