swordfish sent me a BRAND NEW c.o.t. to have modded for his eaton swap, it was almost 2 pretty to cut up. i had this one made slightly different then mine with a rubber tube in the middle.

only thing it needs is the mounting tabs

Are you shortening the height on these to allow it to fit under the snout? I might be in touch with you once I get some stuff powdercoated. I never liked my setup much.

It is two pieces but it doesnt leek from the center. The first one weeped out of the welds, the seceound a brand new tube was welded two tall and didnt fit under the snout so I tried clearanceing it with a hammer that didnt work. Re welded the first tube and the guy who did it grinded to much material two close to were the oring seals so it weeps from the head.

Great work Dave.

ALWAYS pressure test the tube! You can do it yourself with expandable plugs from the auto parts store and a brass adapter in the cooling sensor bung.
