Title: KR Power Steering Cooler location
Post by: RC03881 on May 15, 2021, 10:15:20 PM
Can someone show a picture of where the P/S cooler mounts on a 68 KR?  Looks like an old restoration bypassed it. I would greatly appreciate it.

Was the ps cooler by passed and missing or was a new radiator support put in and the hole in the radiator support for the lines not cut?

That is good otherwise two holes would have to be cut in the radiator support for the hoses to go to the mounted cooler. There is a specific way of doing it. Given it was bypassed and missing you have probably discovered the existing holes for the hose to go through.

Should also be holes for the fasteners through the cooler mounting tabs.

For additional clarify this is in reference to the PS cooler sheet metal screw mounting holes.
