Looking for the Cobra Power Steering Cooler

[Chythar]

I've been searching all over and I haven't been able to find anything that tells me what size it is. The one from the wrecked Cobra is too mangled to use or get any part numbers off of. I'm sure just about anything I buy would work, but I'm trying for the factory look. Anyone have any idea, or a factory Cobra PS cooler they want to get rid of?

Go take a look under the GT, it's the same setup

Unless the Cobra had an aftermarket cooler installed, they are different. The V6 & GT have a metal tube, but this Cobra had an actual finned radiator.

Not necessarily. My car has a tube-and-fin "radiator" to cool the power steering. Unless you're saying it has a different style radiator. Sorry, dont have pics of it right now 'cause I'm at school.

Hmmm, could have sworn my GT just had the metal tube, not a tube and fin radiator. I'll check it out. Even if the GT and Cobra are the same, anyone have a resource for the tube-and-fin radiator for the power steering? Thanks.

Update: Found the Ford part number, off a FFR Cobra site of all places:

F4ZZ-3D746-B

These guys have it for $89.40 (ouch)

I have a line on a used one from the Corral, we'll see if it pans out.

dude, I know you're going for the factory look, but I would consider getting a small stacked plate cooler that is probably more efficient, and call it a day.

My stock GT had one that looked just like that. Look for one off a gt...it'll be cheaper.

The GTs (atleast early ones) have a metal tube just like Fox III's. I also wanted to find a Cobra cooler and never had any luck finding one for a good price. You can get a dedicated albeit generic PS cooler for under 40 bucks.

I was hinky about using a trans cooler because I wasnt sure if the PS had greater pressure than a trans system. That said, a large vendor said that a lot of folks seem to use a stacked plate trans cooler for the PS.

FWIW, if anyone needs a visual, Wes has a nice picture of a cobra cooler on his car. Since I'm not sure it's something he's posted on a public domain, I won't provide a link (but I bet he'd provide one in a PM).
