Can anyone tell me what difference is between the two oiler coolers that are listed in the parts catalog for 914-6? My experience has been when multiple parts are listed, one superseded the other and are the same form, fit, function. What is throwing me off is quite a wide difference in price on these. Roughly $500 delta for the places that offer both (e.g. Pelican, Porsche Atlanta Perimeter, Auto Atlanta, etc.)
Thanks. |

Just to be clear; the "911 style" oil cooler with the straight push-on fitting will not clear the suspension in a 914? (Picture below)
If that's the case, is it possible to have a skilled welder (*cough* @MB911 ) modify the stock 911 oil cooler to fit a 914? Or should I start shopping for a replacement cooler? The CFS #8260 looks like its made for a 914/6 conversion: https://y7y6i2a9.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/up...-8260-Flyer.pdf |

You cut off the tube flush with the end of the cooler and tap it with a 3/4 NPT tap. The tricky part is you want to have it thread in all the way and point forward and about 4* down. Then you are good to go with-12 hoses and fittings. |
