I can find many images of the Mocal, including the mfr installation sheet and product photos, but the mounting bracket is omitted or hidden in every single one. I found a shot of a Porsche installation that shows a bolt head in the bracket, but no indication as to how it got there - the clearance seems very tight.

I plan to "hang" the thermostat by a short hardline from one port of the oil filter mount, then fab a bracket that holds it in that position as an extension of the oil filter mount's plate bracket. Hoses would be refitted with some right-angle fittings to keep the lines clear and straight.

But I need a clearer image of how the darned thing mounts before I can plan the bracket - which I want to do before I actually buy the part. (Design, not fab.)
