So, in the process of building my GT style 914/6 I'm working on the oil system. I'm not too fussy and if a part is not apparent, event with the hoods open, I don't care too much if it looks original or not.
The original 914/6 GT cars used a front oil cooler that was a very close relative to the 906 oil cooler. If a 906 cooler is rare and expensive, an actual 914/6 GT cooler must be in the "mortgage your house and promise your next born" category. And I don't mind saving a fe bucks if I can. So I've come across this idea for the front cooler. I bought a 928 automatic transmission oil cooler. The cooling portion (between the end tanks) is 23 inches wide, by 2.75 inches high. The cooler is 1.25 inches thick. Here are a few pictures. Attached image(s)

It's a tough call on the price... say $40 for the part...$100 for welding and machining...you start to get near the cost of a new one.
This is an early RX-7 cooler...you need to cut the end off and weld on a new end. There's a T-stat to get rid of and I'd flange it, so you could clean it right out when all the work is done. Attached image(s)
