So that part is solved but the hard part now will be finding the bases with the inlet and outlet fittings at the bottom. The original bases I guess were modified to achieve this…? P/N 537312

The black A/N caps are just to protect the threads while no in use.

Is hard-mounting these coolers directly to the chassis a good idea?
