Anyone use a Mocal unit with their front cooler, looking for mounting ideas in the engine compartment. Show me our pics

Thanks



Andy,

Are you planning on installing the t-stat in the engine bay or front trunk?
I like the lower firewall/engine bay mounting area.
Here's a few links that I've looked at for my car :




Thanks Guys!!!

The front trunk was my first choice but my concern going with that location is the distance. there is a lot of cooling with the brass oil lines alone and I want it to open and close properly. Mocal calls for an engine compartment location and distance may be the reason. I was thinking the lower firewall would be the spot but I don't want a spaghetti mess of hoses. I might have to figure it out once the engine is in.

I like you want a simple install w/o all the hose mess. I'm going to mount mine in the lower right side firewall. I'm going to run my lines down the right side to the front trunk. I see you have the GT lines/routing so you may want to mount yours on the left side if you have the room. I have a few pics someplace just need to find them. IIRC I have pics of both mounting locations.
I'll post the pics after I find them.

I don't know how I had not seen this thread before. I just spent two hours salivating my way through it. Truly remarkable and an inspiration to us all.

Andy, my six ran too hot IMO during hot days. I had a front cooler added about this time last year by Auto Assets in Powell, OH. I think it is the best improvement I have done. It ran cool all last summer.

I sold a '73 Corvette in 1976 when I came across a six in an interstate highway, quasi-race. I was impressed. It was yellow, too. Sold it for a family car -- a 911. But the six always haunted me and I am happy to have one now.

Keep going. Can't wait to see it done.

It's doable in that time frame and work has eased (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm looking forward to seeing your car too with your flares and fresh paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I did what I think is the final hanging of the oil lines. the last pic is from a late 914 fuse panel, was the bailing string used on the early cars like in the photo? it sure cleans things up.

Amazing detail, can't wait to see your 6 at C&C. This will be a show-stopper!

My 70 didn't have the string on the wires at the fuse panel.

I also got a puke tank from a F1 car as a nice gift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) but is it too much carbon for the Six?
