Will everything swap over?
I would like to swap my radiator and oilcooler setup from my '85 SE 13B over to my '84 GS 12A.
Will everything, radiator, oil cooler, brackets, and lines fit perfectly on the 12A and the reverse for the 13B?
I know some folks swear that the beehive works very well. And I have had no issues with mine, but would it be worth it, any true benefits, to swap over to the SE setup?
Thanks,
Mike

All 84-85 cars had the SE oil cooler mounts installed because they are a welded part of the main chassis.The 84-85 12A cars just never had the actual cooler installed since the beehive had taken over by then......and BTW,if the beehive is "just fine",then why did they not use it on the SE and all other RX-7s after that!......... because IT SUCKS!!!!
