I wanted to get an idea of how much cost/ weight savings An Al. rad would be. If you don't mind weighing it :)
I'm enjoying the progress!
Even though it is tiny, it is rated for 300HP. I have a Nitrous Scale in the back BRB....

7.275 LBS. :D (naked & dry) $259.95 I-merican @ Summit Racing. Prolly be a bit before I can get to the garage to weight the stock one.

I wanted to wait until I actually put these on the car, but I am all excited about it. I love plumbing (Yes I know I am weird). :lol:

This may make more sense then random stolen fitting images. If not I will be putting them on the car soon, which will likely clear it up for you(s).

What's that grommet you have over your fitting? Is that a common part or something special you found? Where do you plan to mount the reservoir?

The grommets are stock they came out of the 323 master cyl. They were friction fit into the master. In this picture they would go in the two large holes facing the camera.
Image
This photo shows the bottle and the grommets that retain it in the master cyl.
Image
In this photo the assembly is together in it's stock configuration. The bottle friction fits into the grommets in the master and it is retained by a small screw.
Image

I am probably going to mount the bottle to the driver side strut tower. :shrug:

Had fun at my church on the week-end. Was all set to modify my Energy Suspension sway bar bushings. They were universal, but they actually directly bolted on! (That never happens) LOL (MX-3 Suspension)

Made brackets for my remote mount brake fluid reservoir.

I only have drill bits to 3/8 so I bought this little kit to enlarge the holes. I have used this kit before, it worked, but not so well on the aluminum.

Painted some nasty looking stuff.

I was actually a professional auto dismantler at a late model "recycling" yard for three years. I am a parts jockey at a speed shop.....again now. Dismantling cars is hard on the body. If only I could put them back togeather as fast as I can take them apart. LOL :shrug:

Hey wait your just laying it on thick because you need wheel bearings pressed in :lol:

I'm always a little concerned when people use aluminum on cars. Aluminum rots so quickly when mated up with steel. Other than that, lots of good work so far. :)

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
