What size line do you have running up to the cooler? I have to plan this out for my 6. It had a front cool but was removed before I ended up with it.

@rick 918-S Michael's car has -12 lines. I assume that's standard for the 3.2/3.6 but I'd defer to those more knowledgable.

Thanks. I have been researching hard line stuff but haven't gotten as far as sizing.

Fan mount/lower shroud V2 looks like it's a winner. I still need to add the fasteners for the upper fan mounts but in all, I'm liking it.
This component is far enough along that I can get started on the main shroud design.

Loving it! This is exactly why I knew Chris and the Red Barn were where I wanted to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . This is going to work very, very, nicely. I am getting excited to be able to go pick her up and move on to the next stage of this project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm running -12 on my car, should be plenty.

Oh, and just to follow up, the 3.2 arrived safe and sound to the new owner. I breathed a sigh of relief when he let me know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm reusing the pre-existing cooler mounting holes but they were so close to that drop-down in the nose of the chassis that even a small-ish washer wasn't a happy fit.

So for Michael, even the washers are custom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

With the /6 conversion I have been working on, it appears the same. So many custom bits. How would anybody estimate the $$ for one of these?

labor of love for sure

Driver's side seatbelt retractor mount:
- area prepped (welding jacket protecting things)
- secured with a couple self tapping screws
- TIG welded in place
Note that unwelded hole gets drilled out for the loacting pin on the back side of the retractor.

Diggin' the whole oil cooler system... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

For us off the shelf folks might something like this be an option for the oil cooler set up?

Really? No one? Really? I need you folks to pay more attention!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
Not one of you pointed out that if I didn't want to have those fan mounts poking up above the top of the cooler cover, all I had to do was ROTATE THE !@*%($# FANS!!!

I almost pee'd my pants laughing when I realized I'd totally missed this, created more work for myself, etc. Good thing I don't do this as my day job.

I used the redo as an opportunity to make a couple other updates:
- the whole thing is wider and it now competely encloses the cooler
- the width eliminates a minor air gap at the outer, lower corners between the cooler and this mount
- I oriented the fans so the wires all point in the best direction
In all, much better...

If I had 1 year to design this, I couldn't. Chris is the best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I love this cooler/fan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'll be posting this on my channel at some point in the future but figured you folks would enjoy keeping up with progress closer to real-time.
