I have been putting parts together for this for a long time. I started with oil lines (hard gt lines) , oil tank side oil lines, now onto cooler and lines up to it.. Next will be t stat area.
I want to share what progress along the way as folks ask me often if I have a kit and well "working on it" Here is a really nice oil cooler I plan to use in the kit. Notice the angle of the inlets and how they are divided.. |

So my car required a separate bracket to give the thermostat a good home, due to some additional chassis braces in my car. I built this to connect it to Ben's replica GT hard lines. Coated it with rocker panel spray. New PORSCHE thermostat, designed, cut, bent, drilled, and welded up the bracket from an old 914 engine lid, the section you remove when you make a GT lid. Installed caterpillar track (grommet edging, never heard that term before) where the thermostat contacts my bracket, courtesy the Cessna Aircraft Company...left overs out of my spare stuff...
https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appa...yoaApb8EALw_wcB Its all metric, front to back, and it has been a MAJOR pain in the ass so far, and a good learning experience. Since doing anything with metric here, even in 2019, is like being on another planet...and when you say "Cohline" fittings, its the same confusion/confused look. Two more lines to complete, the hard line to engine, and soft line to the tank...then I can move the car under its own power again...really tired of pushing the thing around.
