TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout"

[sXenoG]

What going bowling without me? Im offended! lol Happy to hear about the bike tho. I would have freaked if something new of mine went up in smoke. Now hurry up and get back from bowling. Sheesh you're like dangling a bone in front of us that we cant get! Thats just not right

UPDATE! YEA! I'm gonna be quick about this. I want to upload my track pics and the wreck pics too. Check it out,...


Ok,... heres a brass elbow I got from home depot. I'm goign to use this with the reservoir but first I need to drill out some of that meat in there. Very narrow passage.

Done. Now, another problem,...

This,... no problem. I'll just drill that out too.

After drilling it again this is what I ended up with. Nice isnt it?

I'm using RED thread locker for my threads. I trust this stuff over tape. I will be using tape when it comes to the reservoir though, it's acrylic.

Here is how everything will be setup. How friggin cool is that! I wanted the pumps to be mounted identical to ech other as oppose to one pump facing one direction and the other facing a different direction. I wanted the reservoir up high so it can do its job catching air. It just crossed my mind now that I forgot and drain line. Crap. Thats ok. I still have a small piece of hose left that might just be long enough. Thats crazy because that mean I bought just enough hose. LOL. Anyways,... feast your eyes.

Check out this reservoir mounting. It's mounted right to the top of the case with two nylon washers which are keeping it from touching the top of the case. One port is for escaping air while filling. Makes it a bit easier to fill. The ID of those ports are a bit smaller then the rest of the system so filling will be a bit slower. But with the air port it won't wont be all that slow. I have threaded plugs that screw into them when the system is filled. The rad housing will be over those ports somewhat hiding them. I dont really want them to be all that hidden because I like them and I want people to kinda of see them so they can ask about them. The fill hose will have a fitting on the end of ti that will screw into the fill port. The fill hose is smaller in diameter so it can bend alot easier. Theres just enough height once the rad housing is bolted to the case to screw in the fill hose to fill. It's perfect. There goign to be a drain port just like this on the back of the case.

Here's what I did for the tray panels. I epoxied and piece of tinted acrylic to the front of the trays. I filed it down to size and when done, it looks like it was there the whole time Just the way I like it I cut little mounting grooves and,...

got this.

Now,... check this out. I needed a support bracket for the reservoir. I didnt want to accidently hit the reservoir and crack the threaded holes. The only thing holding up the reservoir are the ports. I need something to hold it other then the ports. This is the start of the bracket. The long strip you see I cut initially. I cut it from the aluminum I got from the junkyard. When I tried the bend a 90 degree with it,... it broke everytime. I tried heating it. Still broke. I dont have the means of heating it enough to bend it to that degree. The alloy is the same of the case, I think. IT slightly harder which means it breaks a bit easier when bent to much without enough heat. So I cut another strip out of the stuff I got from my friend. This aluminum is a bit softer which means it bends alot easier without any heat.

Here I'm bending a 90 degree. I already started bending the strip around the reservoir.

Here it almost done. There will be a bolts where the clamp is. There will be two more pieces that will bent 90 degrees each. They will be bolt to the top of the case. The support arm will be bolted between them just as it is between the tabs the the bracket.

Tomorrow first thing in the morning I will get back to work! What do you think?

Just out of curiousity I dont kno if you discussed this yet but what happens if one pump fails, or one pumps more then the other will this hurt the other pump ne?

Well,... if one pump fails. It will restrict the flow just a bit, atleast I would imagine it would. The coolant will still be able to flow through the failed pump. The flow wont be as great seeing that one pump will be moving water through the entire system. I will have ways of checking for pump activity.
