85 Gsl-se oil cooler. I have 2 sets of broken mounts and neither of them seems to fit right. so, where do I get new mounts and how do I position this thing.

I don't have an answer for you, but a follow-up question to whoever reads this....



Is it possible to vmount it like, at the bottom of the engine bay? You know there's that huge gap between the radiator and the engine...would that work?

Theres two 90 degree bends of steel with two predrilled and threaded sections on the in between the rad shrouding. They are two upside down "L"'s that the mounts bolt too.IF you need a pic let me know.IF being the key.I am on a tight shift right now so I can get it for you but when is the question.You should see it fairly easily after your move that rad out of the way tho.

or u can use zipties...i did. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

Thanks, But I could use a pic or two no hurry.

Alright.I'll see what I can do after I get back from the real estate broker

haha zipties are great, my tuning special.

Sorry about the pic.I was in a hurry for work.Just look at where the welding rod is pointing to.Theres two of those mounts one on each side and it bolts on top of those mounts.

Thanks for the pic. The passenger side has a "L" bracket but the driver side has a backward "C" shaped bracket. At any rate only one of the holes lines up. It's possible this isn't the original oil cooler (I found it in the back of the car)but it' soooo close (maybe from different year). I also only have 1 hose for it I'll need the front engine hose. Any ideas

The SE cooler bolts to the chassis and the 79-82 cooler bolts to the rad.What year is the car?

It's a 85 gsl-se

sounds like a second gen oil cooler to me.



Loi

fc's have 2 big banjo bolts instead of the fb hose adaptor setup

anyone know where I can get pics(parts page?)of the oil cooler for 1st and 2nd gen?

I found pics at mazatrix. It's a 79-82 cooler. that explains alot https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

T2 swap guys:



Are you using the SE oil cooler or fitting a T2 oil cooler ?

Couldn't find a SE cooler here so I am using a 79-82 air cooled oil cooler.Most of us swap guys are using the SE one tho.

I got the SE one.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Final report: I used the 79-82 oil cooler and made my own brackets. I am still looking for the front oil cooler line(cheap as I am running out of money for this project) thanks for all the feedback, Brian

B & M has an oil/tranny cooler that is of plate and fin design has anyone tried these. I know simple pass tube coolers wil not work , but this seems to be much better
