With a bit of modification, you can run anything ever in anything. So... I don't know what kind of information you're exactly looking for. How about you buy all of the materials that are needed, you fly me in, and I will completely fabricate your dream V-mount set-up...? That's completely up to you.

Oh, no... I have never fabricated a V-mount set-up. I just know that I am definitely very capable of it. And for a reasonable price compared to other aftermarket set-ups. I will eventually make my own. It is all about money and prioritizing at this time.
V-mount is the way to go. I wish you luck with yours... Thanks for posting that Rotary Works V-mount mounting bracket link. I knew they had a kit, but I didn't know they sold just the bracketing. Pretty interesting!

(or anything from them for that matter) Just making this clear to everyone.
You will spend more money customizing it because nothing fits than if you were to purchase universal parts and have a shop make you a vmount kit. Their customer service blows. They know that they are ripping people off, and are okay with it.
Read through the first 4 pages of my thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...review-930243/
In regards to purchasing the brackets only...
- Holes in intercooler to radiator core support were off
- Same bracket didn't fit right due to a welded nut underside radiator core support
- New vmount upper radiator support beam is too long
- Every ******* hole in the new oil cooler bracket where it attaches to the frame was off
- Tabs for oil cooler on oil cooler bracket hit a a beam on the car
- Bent brackets that hold up radiator and intercooler didn't line up with both radiator and intercooler
- Thermostat outlet pipe needed grinding to actually fit thermostat inside it
- Thermostat outlet pipe is missing a bung for sensor
- None of the holes for the lower radiator support lines up
Not worth ******* with this. If you want a bolt on kit, seek Rotary Extreme on this forum.
Here's the end result after having a company fix the piece of **** rotary works kit. Take my advice. I already went through the pain and money.

Well I'm vamping this thread from the dead, just roughed in the FMIC core and first 90 degree tubing, on the passenger side I'm going to cut a circular 2.5" hole, but on the drivers side the windshield washer reservoir is in the way... What do I do? How did you guys do it? Should I jut pull it? I might do that, I need advice
Cut or fab something up if the oem one wont fit.
