My truck / so my music choice; they had to put up with my Country station The Bakersfield Beat...as Dwight Yoakam says " Music from the Dust bowl to the Hollywood bowl" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Marty,

Thanks for showing us around your shop and the wicked 914 - 8 GTT! It was great spending time with you and I even enjoyed the country music too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Thanks again!

Transaxle heat exchanger (CSF) in place with rubber isolation pads; more ¾" coolant hose to run, but going to place the Aviaid dry sump oil tank first.

Engine oil cool brackets formed to angles needed in the Right and Left quarter panels, using two Setrab oil coolers with AN#12 fittings.

The mock-up for Setrab oil cooler and how it fits into the R quarter panel, which is the Sheridan wide body with a GT3rs inlet.

I like that idea for the oil cooler brackets. The bracket stays out of the way. Nice execution with the correct angles! Keep working on the car and giving us updates. I check almost daily. lol

@NorCalScott your comments + enthusiasm are much appreciated! I do cheat a little on our bracket set-ups; CAD...cardboard assisted design (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Pre fitting all of the targa area aluminum trim, before
the pieces head into the body shop for detailing + black coating. I'm big on all of the small 914 items that we can integrate back into this custom build. Shoutout to @Montreal914 for sourcing the rear targa trim pieces for us !

Glad I was able to somewhat contribute to this build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif).

BTW, you picked up that trim at our previous house (rental). We bought our house and moved to Claremont 8 years ago… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So…time flies… Then, I had started rebuilding a 74 914 (white repainted red) while enjoying my 73 DD bought when I moved to CA late 2009., I later decided to pass along the 74 project and focus only on my 73, restoration that is still ongoing… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The white 74 car project is in good hands with Glenn @pencap914 .

I assume you're probably using the same rubber isolators to mount the oil coolers as you did to mount the trans cooler. Although they're probably very generic, I'm still curious which ones you're using.

For the smaller isolater-rubber buffers, like the 4 mounting points (sae ¼x20 threads) on this trans radiator: I just use neoprene or silicon muffler-bracket inserts. I just lightly disc sand these to remove any bumps, and install with small fender style washers, then a wavy washer and a little torque.

For bigger accessories like a large intercooler (8mm or 5/16 threads) same technique but I use a larger silicon- buffer...also a donor from a muffler- bracket.

The next size up that I use as isolator-pads (intercooler mounts), are these inserts taken off the"Aeroflow" billet style muffler-clamps (not shown); for 8mm, 5/16 sae fasteners.

Basic location of tank, going to bring its height up another 3.375" and fabricate the upper tank-support bracket. Tight fit but I borrowed this placement idea after looking at various mid engine racecars, and the slim diameter of this tank just makes it in this spot.

When you get this finished, you should duplicate the paint job on the Sounato GT, but with number 41.

Clay, definitely a spin off on the LeMans 914...but a little hot Cayenne spice added !
