Anyone know of any? I would like to play around a little with flow rate, temperatures, and hose size a little. So if you know of one, drop me a line.

Heater cores come with fittings around that size. :)

Not sure about others, but I do know that OCWC sells BigMama with 1/2" by request.

Not sure if you're looking for something cheaper to play around with tho.

use an oil cooler from a small car or motorbike, they are easily adapted (once cleaned) and have approx 1/2" bore.

thanks for the info guys. Bill, I was lookin at that site last nite. There has to be other heatercore sites online. The better the selection, the better for us.

just go to a scrap yard ( i believe they are called "junk yards" in the US ! :D )
you will find oil cooler on a motorbike or small car ( got mine from a mini !!)

good luck

Get a hayden 1401 and cut off the ends. They flare down to a 3/8 hose size but the tube is damn close to 1/2". If you cut it right, you'll have plenty of room for the hose clamps. Good luck with your w/c setup.
