Hi folks - just doing some planning here for 3.2L build and it looks like most of the front oil cooler installations end up cutting the factory bracing extends from either side of the car near the headlights to under the front latch.
The Patrick Motorsports kit from the shapes in the kit seem to presume that but I wanted to ask what most people end up doing. Some recent big$ sales on BAT took the cut/remove approach but I’m a bit reluctant to dive in with the cutting disks. Example picture attached Thanks! |

The guy who is Classic Retrofit, maker of blade fuse panels and electric AC kits for 911s, is working on a rear mounted oil cooler for 911s. It’s not yet ready for production but would seem to be a candidate solution for adding an oil cooler to a 914-6 without cutting up the frunk and running oil lines to the front of the car?
