Front Oil Cooler Duct Mod
Many have done this mod for the RS Style bumper and oil cooler mods. Here's another one made from flat sheet. Actually I curved everything everything for strength. Here are a few photos
     Once I get the actual oil cooler that I plan to use, I will also fab up some brackets and baffling so that the air actually goes through the cooler and not around it. Overall, happy with the result so far. Cheers, Tom

I just did this today. Converted short hood to long and welded in duct for oil cooler. Added tabs to mount oil cooler. First welding project so excuse the bad welding! I’ve been just winging it.

Nice Mark,
What Oil Cooler is that? I haven't purchased mine yet. Thanks Tom

It’s a Mishimoto found online. Got it because it was the biggest to fit the area as I’m running a 3.6. It’s 20.5” long and just fits! I might have to shave the bottom brackets off. Also it looks like I can run the oil lines behind the bumper. I didn’t want to cut into the car.

 Here is my 71 911 with a Setrab Oil Cooler that clears the RS Bumper....  It required custom 30mm Oil Fittings and clears without chassis mods and uses the later A/C front crash bar as the main support. Len dot Cummings at verizon dot net

Where did you get the AC crash bar support? I like that!

The support bar is a factory part for the mid 80's 911s.  More than enough room for air flow without cutting the tub, at least for a street car. For the Track, what Tom has done is worthwhile and necessary. Nice job Tom. Len

Thanks Len, that's a good tip to repurpose the AC bar!
