The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster

I finally ironed out the mounting situation for the trans cooler. Wasn't sure how I wanted it mounted but it ended up being easiest to have the fittings pointing up rather than to the side. I was able to utilize existing fasteners from the lower radiator support and hood latch so no new holes were drilled. I fabricated a bracket from a steel sheet. I found it was easier to work with steel rather than aluminum, it's more forgiving. I did use two aluminum strips for the top mounts but those were simple cut and drill.

Though I used the existing radiator support and latch fasteners, I think I'm going to need some longer bolts for a little more support. The OE ones worked well for mockup. I'm happy with how it came out. It's solid and in an easy position to plumb.
