    Oil Cooler Ducting

    My 94 ABY avant has split the oil cooler, for which I have bought a replacement. Unfortunately the metal ducting just in front has completely rotted. So much so that I can't even use it as a template to fabricate a new one.

    Anybody got one they want to sell, or loan while I use it as a pattern?

    Thanks

    make a copy out of thin alloy , you can run car without it , it will be fine until you get time to make /buy new ducting

      I made a bracket up out of ally checker plate and binned the original one all it does is trap rubbish up against the cooler over time

        I was hoping to fabricate something in either aluminium or possibly composite. Problem is that I don't have a template to work from. I don't know if the duct is a straight forward rectangular tube or if it has any lips or edges. Can't even tell how it is mounted. The old one has completely disintegrated.
