GT Cooler Question Options

[RiqueMar]

For everybody out there running a GT style cooler, would you mind posting a few photos of your cooling setup and fans?

Currently re-routing my system to use a SETRAB type cooler (example here: Patrick Motorsports Website) however I don't see any reference to fans, and it doesn't seem as though it's an option to purchase.

Also, appreciate any 'pointers' in the right direction when it comes to vendors that might have similar products / solutions. Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually making it out of aluminum is not a bad idea. A top, bottom and the sides.

Of course it always seems easy in my brain but is invariably two or three times harder and more time consuming to execute in reality!

It would be very doable for Ben to make these. get aluminum cut with water jet, weld up pretty but it would take a group of committed people. I'm guessing it would be a similar cost to the aluminum oil tanks and it would be based around a chosen oil cooler. Other coolers might fit but we would have to pick one (Ben has a great one already picked out).
I can get a quote from Ben and run the group buy if there is interest but it's not worth it if your not ready to pay $750 for one. It may be more, it may be less but $750 is a reasonable number to get the conversation started.

I also thought stainless steel would be pretty cool.

Getty FG one is $350. the carbon fiber is $550. AIR FG one is $175. $750 is pretty steep premium.

Yes. It would be styled like Kelly’s orange car. Air ducted around the spare and out the side. Completely different than the traditional GT style. I’ve also talked to Ben about a more traditional GT style but in aluminum or SS. He made one for his car in aluminum and even if we don’t do a group buy, I’ll have him make me one. I’m guessing $500 +\- There are already plenty of companies that do cheaper glass. I want a premium product in steel or aluminum.
