Detailed pics of RX7 cooler, For GT style front mounting Options

[michel richard]

The current thought is to install a modified Mazda RX7 cooler in the front of my GT style conversion.
I bought a cooler off Ebay, for 10 bucks and it showed up on my doorstep today. I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of the part. It's welded aluminum and the craftsmanship appears to be on par with German Behr parts.
I shot a bunch of pictures and thought they might be of interest to some on the list.
Here's an overall view:

There is a built-in pressure relief valve that unscrews (It's out in these pictures). The inlet and outlet are pretty small, and I will replace the bungs to use the 30mm fittings that are used in the oil lines to the cooler.
So what needs to be done is the following: 1) plug the hole between the two chambers at the business end, to disable the pressure relief system. 2) plug the holes facing towards the top and the bottom (they won't be used). 3) replace the bung facing the end on the inlet side with a 30 mm fitting and 4) add a complete new 30 mm bung on the outlet side, facing the end.
And do all of that without any risk of contamination to the inside of the radiator.
I'll keep this thread alive as this sub-project is undertaken.
Cheers.
