Interest in Power Steering Cooler Kit?

My 986S has bitten the PS death pill... The red clip is melted of course, but the pump is still okay! Some of you may know, but others might not... the 986 and 987 are very susceptible to power steering fluid leaks after a hard day at the track. The fluid's heat build up in the return line melts a hose clip which in turns allow the line to leak. Most Shops will replace the whole reservoir because the clip only comes a joint part with the reservoir. But just a replacement doesn't fix the problem permanently. There are a few solutions, but my local Porsche Race shop owner and friend is going to fab me a front mount Power steering cooler. He asked me to see if there was any kind of interest out there at this point in a ready put together kit. I know many of you guys have already gone this route, but a put together kit would make things much easier. Dan at Stuttgart in known on the east coast for mainly 968 and 944 race cars. The cooler upgrade is a known fix for our problem and much cheaper than the electric pump route.
