termi power steering cooler location and effectiveness

[YELOSNK]

I'm considering replacing the finless power steering cooler on my '01 Cobra with the 03/04 Cobra unit, as I am boiling fluid when doing track days. In assessing this I'm trying to see where your cooler actually sits. Based on the shape it looks like it is positioned towards the bottom or at the bottom of the radiator with the tubes/fins horizontal. Is that accurate?

And then for those who have used your car for track days, has this cooler been sufficient?

I otherwise might just get an ~11x6 fin-and-plate and get something fabbed up to mount it in the hole between the bottom of the bumper and the radiator.

JMO, I'd go with your second idea. You're correct about the placement though. I think sourcing one would be a bit of a pain.

Thanks. LMR says they have the 03/04 one at $130. Pricey for what it is, but I was thinking it would maybe be less of a hassle to get set up. But I wouldn't want to go that route if it still won't be sufficient.

Cx racing sells a nice little cooler that mounts to the bottom of the crash bar I’d check that out. No experience with it just saw it

I tried to find that one, as you mentioned it in an older thread of mine, but I failed. Do you have a link?

My original sprung a leak so I replaced it with a universal cooler mounted to the crossmember with some riv-nuts and bolts. Moving the cooler upwards (with some custom brackets) in front of the condenser would improve airflow and performance. The part# was Derale 13220 but there's plenty of different sizes available if you search on Summit Racing.

They call them oil coolers, they’ll work either way. Previous post looks nice too
