Does anyone sell GSL-SE oil cooler mounts?

Not seeing a Mazda part for them and Mazdatrix doesn't have them listed either.

'85 model. The rubber is starting to crack, so I'd like to replace if possible.

Talking about these ones:

Check Ebay. Even if you don't find the part listed, get in touch with the sellers that are parting out SEs. There are a few and they are usually helpful.

Or maybe someone here has one.

I was kind of hoping to get new ones, not used ones. Maybe I can just get ones for other models and make extra brackets to mount them up, though I'm not sure how they would fit the oil cooler.

weird, it really looks like you have to buy the cooler to get the mounts

Yeah, that's messed up. Perhaps I'll make them last until I need a new cooler.

the good thing is that the mounts are constructed in a way that if one fails its not a big deal.

i wonder about plasti dip, or glue or something?

Alright, I'll just zip-tie them to be on the safe side and I guess it should be fine.

I fabbed up metal mounts when I was told by Mazda the factory mounts are NLA. I don't recommend this - there are rubber isolators in the factory mounts for a reason.
