grumpy old man that can't read. j/k :icon_bigg

I left the barb off of this one because I'm going to thread it for a giant -an fitting.

can't spell either... snicker.... snigger just looks wrong...

Looks good.
Another thing you could do is just make a 1/2" spacer for the stock one.

I'm definately thinking about it.

 

[IJ.]

I didn't

I sniggered (probably a geographical thing as the N word doesn't have the same connotation here)

And yes I agree a 1000 PSI fitting makes perfect sens on a 13 psi joint

I just got some prices

1 thermostat housing is 210.00
10 housings are $110.00 each
20 - 50 housings are 100$ each
I'll be going group buy with this very soon.

You're really going to want to make certain the timing cover can come off without removing the hose or clamp, first

That would be my biggest reason to buy one of these.

Can we have 7M engraved?

+1 on the "7M" engraving!

i test fit it today, and it just barely dosen't clear. About another 1/4" for a total of .5" spacing, and it should clear.

btw i polished the outlet today.....
check it out.

Why does it not have a counter bore? That would make it look much cleaner.

So get back to the drawing board, move the outlet out another 3/8" (since you said about 1/4", I like to have a little extra wiggle room ) and see about getting 7M engraved on it

Doing a counter bore would be an easy change. You want to show off it's a 7M?

 

[Doward]

Damn right I do

 

[upgradedsupra]

Damn right I do

Just checkin.

I'm not sure where you're asking for the counterbore to be. But if you mean c-bore the bolt holes, I would need More clearance unless I included SHCS's Which would once again Drive up the price either way.

Sounds about Right. I probably won't have a chance to get back to the drawing board for a week or more because I'm dead smack in the middle of buying my first house. But if I can squeeze some time in for it I will. I want to get this group buy going.

Just checkin.

nevermind...
How about a spacer that will work with the stock housing or this housing. It would probably be cheaper than getting the next size larger stock. right now I can use 2" thick stock. if I move the outlet 3/8" I'd have to buy 2.5" thick stock, which is a lot more material to move and it's a bit more money for the stock. right now the stock dimensions are 4 X 3.5 X 2 and I'm using 2 X 4" bar now. So if I use 1/2" flat bar for the spacer it will be cheaper.

sooo, I found a little bit of time to work on this, and I have two different designs. one is based off of the original. and the other is a entirely new design. With any luck I'll post them up later today or early tomarrow.
Then once it's posted I'll do a vote on which design is best.
