Mk1 Oil Cooler Brackets

Post by 66S »

There seems to be a difference in the (later) Mk1 front apron oil cooler mount brackets. I am picking that some repro ones have been made differently than originals. Has anyone got a photograph of an original please?

Here's a pic of a late 68 MK 2 S bracket if it's any help Al.

I didn't realize how complicated it was until i gave it a clean earlier. :o

That is perfect thanks. I have seen this style and they are what is on my '66 but maybe there were more than one style used, thus the different repro's. Thanks for you help.
