Question Rx7Store V-Mount and SakeBomb Garage Oil Coolers

I currently have an SBG oil cooler kit and I want to get the Rx7 Store V-mount kit.

Does anyone have this combination? I want to know if the radiator and oil thermostat interfere with eachother in the positions they are mounted.

Thanks in advance!

I've installed those on several customer's cars together without an issue.

For what it's worth, There is a clearance issue. The thermostat interferes with the radiator hose.

I already made some changes to get me more clearance. Instead of the banjo fitting for the return, I used a metric to -10AN straight adaptor and a non-swivel 90 degree female to female fitting to the thermostat. It pushed the thermostat almost 2 inches towards the left side of the bay and provided plenty of clearance.

Makes sense. The newer kits should be shipped with something similar.

I made my own kit and did pretty much the same thing.
