85 GSL-SE oil cooler mounting brackets

Can someone show me what theses brackets look like and the part number if possible... I just discovered a 86-91 oil cooler was installed (welded) on my rx7. Since i bought the racing beat lines and I have the period correct oil cooler, i am swapping back. I plan on fabricating the brackets but would prefer to use the original ones if possible. I cannot find theses on the parts book. Thanks

I don't remember the mounts being available, something about them being a part of the cooler.

Its a soft mount, with two L shaped peices of metal, one side bolts the the body, the other to the top sides of the cooler, and they are apoxyed together with a strip of rubber inbetween, your better off making a new mount, they wouldn't be hard to do.

The soft mounts you are writing about are the ones that were on my perriod incorrect cooler. the cooler i want to install only has a small horizontal tab with two holes on each side. tghere is the same tabs on the body to mount but are not in line with the oil cooler ones, there is about 3/4 inch diferrence, i will need to fabricate a S shaped bracket for each side. Time to be crafty...

As always, thanks you for the fast replies...
I'll be back as it is now winter here...

Both 1st and 2nd gen fmocs have rubber isolated mounts. They are not interchangeable. Your gap is where the rubber isolators mount.
