I mounted the front oil cooler today. With an 18"x24" 22ga. piece of sheet steel I made a piece to cover the opening I cut out of the tire well. I did this because I wanted the cooler high enough so It wouldn't peek out from underneath the car, and I needed room for a fan behind it. The mounting tabs on top are 1/8" steel with M6 nuts welded to it to bolt the cooler in, and the tabs are welded straight to the tire well. The bottom mounts are T6 aluminum pipe pressed flat on the ends, drilled, M6 threaded on the cooler's end, and 5/16" stainless steel riveted to the framehead on the other end.
