I always thought the "typical" aftermarket mounting options using the rubber mounts to the trunk floor had the potential to restrict air flow through the cooler.
 I will have to give McMark credit for this as I saw him post about the rubber mounts for the fuel pump. My fuel pump mounts were pretty stiff so I was going add new ones and followed McMarks link to McMaster Carr. And I found these. Part # 9241K46  Part # 9254K51  Using these to extend the existing mounts will add a bit more space for air flow and a larger air gap to keep heat out of the trunk. Have not installed yet but at about $3 each not very expensive. |

The cooler on my '73 is in the same place- that is a good idea! I love McMaster Carr- always find a bunch of stuff I think I need...
