[QUOTE="VNEMUS, post: 10777243, member: 56259"] My original mounting of the oil pump ended up being a little lower than I wanted (see pic below on left). I actually had an issue driving on the street, pulling out of parking lots or driveways where the inclined transitions of the street and sidewalks or driveway entrances were the lowest pump fitting just barely scraped. The car is low to begin with. The easiest fix was to make a new mounting plate to move the pump up on the rack 1.5 inches (see pic below on right). I have no ground clearance issues now. [ATTACH=full]198407[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]198408[/ATTACH] Mounting the pump in the rear the way I did was a compromise to what I really wanted to do, which was mount the set up in the spare tire well of the trunk, mainly for safety reasons. My mounts more closely replicated a couple other local Cobra R (Steve C & Dave G) owners’ set ups. I think between the way Bruce and Kevin have their pumps and coolers mounted up on the rear bumper support (with a little fabrication here and there) is the stealthiest way to go. As you can see in the pics, there is a decent amount of space behind the bumper cover, bumper support and fuel tank for mounting options.
