I am seeing three different part numbers for the oil line clamps. Do you know which one is the correct P/N for this application? Thanks.
I think it would be the same ones as the 911 SC used. 911.207.303.00 MB |

You are kidding right Larry? A 906 cooler? If you could find one it's probably going to be $10,000. And that's no BS. So that would be the main reason "What's wrong with the factory GT cooler setup"

Robert Peukert in Germany makes an exact replica of the 914-6 GT oil cooler (except end-bells are CNC'd vs cast) - very high quality. I bought one so I know. Cost was around 1000-1100 euro delivered.
It took about 4 weeks for shipment, but he would not ship to USA for some reason so I had him ship it to a friend in Europe who then sent it on to me. Website - but only really an e-mail contact. I wrote what I wanted in english and used google translate and pasted that into the e-mail and I was able to communicate OK. http://www.kuehler-peukert.de/ He also sells them on german Ebay on occassion, but no USA shipping. |

Thanks very much for sharing that info.
I went with Ben's version because I have a 3 liter engine, and the ability to cool larger, higher horsepower, larger displacement engines was nice, plus this car is a replica that's is vintages raced during the Sacramento summer temps. Plus the weld in shroud really gives strength to nose area of the car, unlike the screw in, fiberglass version that are on the market. Do you have a source for the metal shroud kit? MB |

I bought the parts from AJ who had a couple of extra sets $$$ - Tangerine/Chris installed it with the same extra reinforcements that AJ did (see the Pbase site).
Mittlemotor has the parts too in metal: Upper duct 799 euro Lower duct 399 euro Grill/surround 719 euro Good euro exchange rate right now too. The only way to find these is to go to their site and type "kuhler" into the search box. https://www.mittelmotor.de/cms/de/webshop/s...t_category_id=0 Mittelmotor's 914/6-GT oil cooler offering is not a replica of the Behr cooler as far as I can see. |

I wish I would have waited longer before getting my oil hoses and went this direction.

The Mittelmotor parts look great but beyond my price range. i think its really cool to try to duplicate the factory setup but I'm happy just getting the overall look and function of the GT setup without needing to duplicate it piece by piece. If If had a real factory GT, then I would buy the "right" parts. |

Price is definitely a factor here. Ben's kit will be reasonable, and effective, once it's all sorted out.

Price is definitely a factor here. Ben's kit will be reasonable, and effective, once it's all sorted out. That's the goal.. Call it GT inspired if you will but looks like front cooler soft lines will likely be $300.. That's cheap for the cohline quality I think I want to do the whole kit on my blue flared car. The SS AN lines are pretty easy to make but I think I want the period look of these parts. |
