    Porsche 2.8 RSR & 914-6 GT Front Oil Cooler

    Faithful and authentic reproduction of the Behr front central oil cooler fitted to the Porsche 2.8 RSR and 914-6 GT....





    Manufactured in the UK by one of the worlds leading suppliers of racing radiators, oil coolers and motorsport fabrications, Concept Racing ( https://conceptracing.co.uk ), these are fully functioning motor sport quality coolers, each pressure tested and built to perform at the highest level.

    Built to the same dimensions of the original cooler (seen below) with end tanks and brackets cast to match the original Behr cooler perfectly. Complete with the correct oil pressure relief valve, internal spring and ball bearing, captive nuts and finished in the original Alocrom 407 protective coating to give the coolers that period authentic green tinge, I believe these are about as close as you can get to an original NOS item.

    Available at GBP £2,500 + Shipping















    Please message or email: darren@swindoncarandvan.co.uk for more details.

    ....super lightweight and weighing only 2.8kg, 0.5kg lighter than the original and likely more efficient....

    I'd like one to hang on the wall of my garage as a tribute (and shop art) to those out here doing this sort of work!

    Thank you for your efforts.

    Thanks for the kind words Tom and more than happy to oblige although expensive wall art and must admit I get more of a buzz knowing these have found their way onto original cars running at Rennsport Reunion!

    Cool garage btw

    I received mine earlier this week and it is exactly as advertised.
    It's beautifully made and special mention for the great care Darren has put in packaging & shipping.
    Can't wait to put it on the car! Pictures to follow soon.

    Thanks Patrick

    In response to a query regarding import duties or tariffs, I've had responses from a couple of purchasers in Connecticut and Georgia who have just received their coolers and charges were $124 and $125 respectively.

    These were based on full value insurance and declarations so pretty reasonable.

    HTH

    Cheers,

    I have also been asked about dimensions and comparisons between the 2.8 and 3.0 versions; please note these coolers are built to the exact dimensions of original coolers and will therefore fit the bumper openings of the 2.8 and 3.0RS/RSR bumpers.

    A few pics of coolers side by side to give a general idea of dimensions although please let me know if you need anything more exact. Many thanks.

    3.0 Cooler









    Cheers,
