oilcooler mountings

I have a 1980 RX-7 with the oil cooler below the radiator, my mountings gave up on me the other day, so im wondering if any here have made custom mountings they like to share to me

I made up a bracket which bolts onto the side of the radiator mount.

I grab every set I find at the junk yard. But soon I will need to find something different cause they are always half bad.

Why dick with a quik-fix?? Buy new ones!! they are about $17+ each and do the best job - BUT the 79-80 parts are unique, so don't dally, as Mazda is dropping OEM parts off the "availability" list daily!! And guess which RX7 years are going first??!!
