Okay so I'm back from a lull of laziness and with some questions again. I have included pics to help clear things up. First I'm still waiting for plastic hose clamps, a Thermaltake Flow Tx Plus CL-WO138, a set of anti-kink coils, and a flush mount fillport.

First question is what do you think of my reservoir? There is going to be a T at the bottom for an inline draincock to go.

I have also bought an inline fuel filter from NAPA and
thinking about putting it in. Do you think that is good? Bad? There are two sets of pics showing the filter in two different locations. Which do you think would be better or should it maybe go somewhere else?

Here's the pic for the first postion of the filter: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...os1wRad1-1.jpg

Here's the link for the second position of the filter: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ePos2wRad1.jpg

When I get the Thermaltake flowmeter I was planning on putting it bettwen the output of the last GPU, in the series, and the reservoir. The reason for that would be to know the temp of the loop after it has collected all the heat. I would also like to know the temp of the loop after the radiator to see how cool everything is. Is there a better way, keeping in mind price, to have a flow meter and two inline thermometers?

The connection between the two GPU's is pretty tight so I was thinking of using anti-kinks coils for that and then saw that someone else used copper elbows to make the bend. Which do you think would be better? I'm using 1/2" ID Tygon tubing with a 3/4" OD

Okay that is it, and by the way... PUP DEMANDS ANSWERS!!!!!
