Oil Cooler needed for Mint 79 RX7 - St L, MO
The bottom 'bung' on the oil cooler for my mint 79 RX-7 has developed a crack.
I'm not having any luck finding a replacement.
All help / referrals are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ron

A radiator shop may be able to weld it if it's only cracked.

Posting in the classified section is where you should be posting if you do want to buy one.

I would also remove it and take it to a machine shop or radiator shop to have it welded. I have done this with several if my oul coolers and they have held up tho this day with zero issues. I have a 79 oil cooler in the SA parts shelf here at the house but I have not leak tested it yet. I will likely just have it welded before I sell it.

We can discuss it over pm. We will keep the thread free of anything not related to the OP's question.
