Re: Gen V Question?

Thank you again Clint! That is exactly what I needed to know. I’ll be heading to the hardware store after work for that same setup. I like it!

no prob, the offset it just a little wider than the water pump fittings, but only by a little if there installed that close like i have.... that site i linked is about as compact as you can get! Super clean to boot.

to "machine down" the side T piece that gets soldered together, that you see smooth, I simply took a drill and a bolt with the head cut off that fit the ID nearly perfectly. I added tape to make it snug. chucked it up in the drill and spun it with a file resting on the ribs until it was the right size-ish.
