WTB: 1973 2.8 RSR Central Behr Oil Cooler

[mike curnow]

Looking for a Behr factory 1973 RSR front central oil cooler. I can get a new cooler made up at Pacific Oil Cooler and others for approx $1000.00 so if anyone has a factory piece for that kind of money I could be interested.

Put me in line please if someone discovers the magic pot of RSR coolers

Mike how close are you getting to having your RSR finished?

Well Mike 1000 usd for a org .... last used one I saw was 7000 Euro

But I am in the final stage of a reproduction , end pieces alloy casted as original

same size etc as org , they will be ca 1250 EURO should be ready by the end of september

pics is from the early stage prototyping, bracket´s will be welded on offcause + it will come with the mesh

the grill / mesh / radiator it self has a bit bigger "ribs" but will deliver a better oilflow / cooling than original

top bottom plates will come in one piece , on the pics I just spot welded the extension

overflow pressure vent/ spring inside

will also fit 914/6 GT - 904- 906

the larger 3,0 RS / RSR cooler also in final stage

The cooler looks very very good, I am interested. In your message in front of the price it says " ca " 1250E , which is Euro, what is the (ca) mean. I assume the outside dimensions are factory , you mention something about " bigger ribs " what does that mean ? 30mm in and out I assume.

Do you have a list of items that you reproduce ? Also the front protection pan for the plastic gas tanks , do you have one for the 110 liter tanks ? I believe they stick down more than the 100 liter tanks. Also I saw a reply from you concerning the RSR aluminum front axle where you say you have cast and forged units. Car Point advertises cast RSR axles , do you make there units ? Also do you have forged ones currently ?

Proceed with caution with the first vendor.
