I wanted a fire extinguisher readily available and didn’t see anything appealing to me on previous threads. I didn’t want to deface any OEM parts or drill any holes, so that left me with the Brey Krause or the Rennline. Well, the Rennline is way expensive and the Brey Krause while a little better price is just a little ugly in my opinion. So, since I have a little too much time on my hands and like to piddle in my garage I decided to make my own. This is what I came up with for about $8.00 in materials and way way to much time! Very similar to the Bray Krause in it’s mounting and with the same drawback of limiting forward seat travel. I don’t see any need for the passenger seat to be able to go all the way forward and the limit is within an inch or so of where I normally have it any way. It doesn’t show in the photos, but the aluminum is polished to a near chrome finish. Oh, the funny cutout by the tunnel allows the seat one more click of travel.

I mounted mine to the cover plate at rear of tunnel.

I didn’t want to mess up my cover plate. Ed probably has boxes of them

I measured and ordered a thermostat and soft lines from BAT. It is a 200F thermostat unlike the 185F engine and SC/Carrera type on the engine and rear passenger wheel well of my car. This will allow the car to run on the passenger side cooler only in the 185 to 200ish range and on both sides fully opened at 200F.
With the second cooler the oil went from being a little too hot to a little too cool. I went on a run of 200 miles from Vail to Steamboat and back. I was on a tour with mostly newer Porsche's, Ferrari's, and Lambo's. 85 to 125 mph most of the time. Oil temps maxed at 190F. I would rather be at least 200 and 210 to 220 would be better. This should in theory warm the oil a little on cooler days and give the extra cooling needed on those high 90's and 100 plus days.

cool move . as most wear occurs on cold engine.

Plug sockets with rubber inserts are just plain awful. Magnetic plug sockets are a bit better but nothing compares to the plug socket in my pictures. Ed, I'm surprised that you don't have one of these. They have been around for 2 or 2 decades and very few people know about them. They aren't cheap, but worth every penny. They have a little ball retainer much like a ratchet or extension but work much better than a magnet. They hold the plug with just the perfect amount of tension and wont pull of the end of an extension, either.
I know of no one that has tried one of these and not gone out and bought one.

PS:Ed, I would be happy to send you mine for a trial run. You can send it back after buying your own.

Where are those sold Jim?

Where are those sold Jim?

You can find them on line. I bought mine many years ago from a specialty tool, mobile, salesman that would stop by my shop once or twice a month. KOWA is the brand. Once you use it you will be hooked!

I drove the '69T up to Fort Collins where Mr. Hal Massey, a true gentleman, gave me a transponder for my '59 BMC Huffaker FJ. This was the first time I've had it on 75 MPH interstate, and um, er, ah, well......it does 90 with ease.
