Oil cooler mounts on my 79 are shot, rubber separating.
Are there any substitutes or good ideas to fab new ones?

 

I had the same problem on my 85 GSL-SE and was unable to find any replacement mounts, I ended up using a 1/4" thick neoprene sheet and cutting pieces to fit the mount. I thoroughly removed the old rubber and cleaned the surface. I then glued the new rubber to the mount using Loctite super glue ultra controlled dispense gel., Seem to be holding so far.

 

Buy.new.ones. Since they seem to last a good 20yrs +, pretty hard to beat.
Still avai from Mazda, mazdatrix. unless they have just now become NLA.

They are not hard to find, will cost you 70$ for a set. buy them, I'm convinced my cooler broke because mine were busted ( my mechanic was kind enough to give me new ones with my engine rebuild )

 

Like others already said, they're still available new. I know Atkins has them as well.

For mine I did the same thing as Markjg. Loctite Ultra Gel Control super glue seems to be holding well so far, although when they finally let go I plan on getting new ones (contact cement failed miserably).

 

*update*

They've finally let go

 

I have two mounts, il get back to you later today if I can sell them, The mounts on my car are welded to the radiator Since I broke the bolts, but I bought a used OC with the mounts included. they look to be in good condition btw.

 

Thanks all, I bit the bullet and bought new ones as advised.
