First I was looking at the A/C condenser in front of the rad,( the compressor is long gone) and I was wondering if it can be used as an oil cooler? or would it melt from the heat since it was not design for that purpose?

Second, as anyone ever made the rear windows removable. I'd like to be able to remove it and install it at will but the original installation where it slides inside the targa bar make this problematic, any ideas

Thanks

PS how do you post picture on this group, can it only be a link or can a pic be actually included in the massage

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I don't know if the condenser could be used as an oil cooler, but do you really want to run oil lines all the way from the engine to the front of the car? I don't know if I would want to do that.

I removed my window once, but the air flow over a convertible is such that you get air blowing forward into the cockpit (from an eddy behind the windshield), so you get HOT and oil smelling air blown against the back of your head. I wouldn't recommend it.

For pictures, just paste in the URL ("http:...") and the picture will automatically appear. If the pic is not on the web yet, you can email it to Mac and he will post it.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Well as for the hoses from front to back theres already a set form the A/C running front to back and I could route new lines the same way replacing the a/c hose with more suitable for oil. I'm just looking at options and there is so little space in the engine compartement that I think it would be very inefficent back there. maybe the rear truck could accomodate the cooler UUUmmmmm

As for the rear windows , I now remember those same comments a while back. Thanks, I knew someone would bring me back to my sense
