Barney Eaton Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 A few northern Reatta owners have had power steering coolers rust out and need replacing. Today I picked up a PS cooler from a 94-98 Cadillac Deville and it is identical to the Reatta cooler except for the left bracket. These coolers are plentiful at the local Pick n pull and after making a small bracket it is a plug n play replacement. In fact if your cooler is rusted and junk, cut off the left bracket from your junk Reatta cooler and screw it to the Deville cooler bracket and you are back in business. Here is a picture of the left end.... I added a cardboard cutout to show the needed Reatta bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Awesome solution! Mine was leaking badly but luckily I had a spare on the shelf. In these Cincinnati winters, no telling how long that one will last. I may pick up one of these at my local pull and pay just in case! Wish I'd saved the bad on now for that needed bracket.

Barney Eaton Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 If there is an interest, I could pick up some rust free Texas parts for the less fortunate Northern owners. The price at the yard was about $10 with tax. They don't weight much but finding a box might be a problem, otherwise a standard box big enough for them might raise the shipping to more than the part cost.

Machiner 55 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Barney,I can hardly believe that is a used part! When I had the one out of my car I used POR-15 on it to try and extend it's life a bit.But hey, if you can get more like that, put me down for two (combined shipping to save $). Just PM or Email me via the Forum the total $ and I'll put it in your PayPal account.In advance, thanks!John F.

Barney Eaton Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 We need to work out a trade arrangement between the North and South. Our cars don't rust but the sun eats up the plastic parts. Just the reverse up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
