Help ID a Caterham? part

[SCse7en]

I was sorting through some of the spare parts I got with my 1989 Caterham and found two of these.  I have no idea where they were installed or what they are for.  Made of steel and with excellent welds and paint.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Eric

oil cooler mounting brackets

You made me look.  Here in the middle of the night I went out to the shop and pulled down the box with the MOCAL oil cooler.  Hmm.  Nothing in the box but the oil cooler and hose. 

 

Those brackets do remind me of the ones that held my now-removed cooler.  I know I used the holes in the radiator flange to mount the bracket for the air horns on 74PHIL.

Thanks for the ID info!  Eric

How consistent has Cat been with the radiator mount spacing over the range of models and years, such as these are spaced?  Or are they exclusively a crossflow/Ford engine fittting?

I don't know.  I know the 1700 Super Sprint came to me with a MOCAL oil cooler on the front of the radiator, held in brackets similar to this one.  I think my brackets went to the ends of the cooler, and the little pads might be 90 degrees out from the ones in the photo.  Of course, I don't know where they are right now.

 

I don't race.  I do autocross and pleasure driving mostly in Minnesota.  My air-horns live in that space in 74PHIL now.
