    Hello,

    just as above. I am struggling to find a pair of OEM RX7 oil cooler mounts/bushings.

    Is there an active RX7 forum in the UK or a breaker, who might have them in stock?
    They a cost a fortune imported from the US...

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards
    István

    I'm not sure, if they are the same, but they should look like this:

    Why not just make then out of some steel? They look pretty basic

    The rubber mounts absorb vibrations and they prevent the alloy cooler from cracking. It shouldn't be mounted solidly on a steel mount

    I have had a quick google search, they seem to be different.
    I hope the internet is wrong and you have what I need. :)

    Well it's probably not but I could sell you the whole twin cooler setup or just modify the rx8 ones to fit?

    Already have the huge RX7 FC version, just want to mount it securely, so it can be a fit and forget part.
    Thanks anyways!

    Any ideas on a breaker, or on a RX7 dedicated forum someone?

    We really struggled to get parts for our FC, best place to check is US eBay. Postage is expensive tho.

    Thank you! If I cannot find it here, have to buy them from the US. Do not fancy that, but if I have to.. :)

    Is there no way of fabbing them up and just walking some thick rubber on the meeting faces? I'm sure it can't be too hard to mark and would save you alot if time amd money trying to source them from the states

    Buy anti vibration mounts and make a plate to mount them to.
    Work out much cheaper than importing anything.

    That's what I use on mine.
    They weren't that price though.
