So, I am looking for a front oil cooler for my 914-4. I have priced many out and so far they are on 2 ends of the spectrum. Mocal 13"x5.75"x2" at $130 and the Fluidyne 21"x5.88"x3" at $320 (or is there a better price?). I have heard folks speaking of Mazda coolers, etc. What is the best bang for your buck cooler out there? I am trying to find something that is at least 16-18" wide and around 6" tall. Are junkyards a good place? What cars and where are they?
Thanks, Chris BTW, I am in the South Bay |

QUOTE(TimT @ Sep 19 2003, 03:14 PM) Earls, Mocal and Setrab are all very similar coolers and all are equally flimsy.... the mounting ears are 18ga maybe? Earl's doesn't really suggest you use the "mounting ears" for mounting. they suggest you get some 'U' channel stock big enough to slip the cooler flanges into and you use some nice strut/spacer rods to hold the top and bottom U channel parts together. the holes in the 'mounting ears' are used only to retain them from sliding back and forth (or up and down) in the U-channel frame. |
