Looks amazing actually. wow.
Where did the automotive hose adapter come from in the last pic ?
Hope you still have that oring(s) hehe.

nikhsub1, any thoughts about putting a small divider between the in and outlet to help keep air from the outlet? like a small clear piece of acrylic? just my 2c

Re: Solid Brass Res
 

Not gonna bother modding the res i dont think. The hose clamp you see is made by pi-thon. Got them at www.summitracing.com, they are on sale, not cheap.

What id do - short section of brass hex stock, or brass tube. Connect to the fill hole, then make a window in the top of your UFO with acrylic or WHY - then put the brass filling plug on top. Then you get to see the res; either that, or just put a window in, you'd probably just pull the res forward to fill it anyway.

gorgeous bit of work, i love polished brass.

Shiny ! My preciousssss
This is some nice goodness. Like Aquacomputer res, but without the galvanic nightmare.. I whish these brass shiny things were easily available !

Where did you get the brass tube ?

Re: Solid Brass Res
 

Why don't the fittings bottom out all the way? still very pretty though :)

Re: Solid Brass Res
 

They are tapered NPT fittings, that is why they don't bottom out, but trust me, they are tight and sea worthy!

Re: Solid Brass Res
 

Pretty! You should replace the front black cover with a clear one, to show it off.

Update, I took it apart again and polished the crap out of it. When I leak tested it hooked to a D4, bubbles never went away. If I put a barb on the top port with some hose ala tee line, she bleeds right out. I think I will leave a barb on top, and connect to a fillport in the top of my case. I also put a barb on the INSIDE of the res in the inlet hole (center back) so that hole has 2 barbs. My thinking is this may help with the bleeding, although im not sure. I hope my pump doesnt shatter the glass lol. Will get pics up of it.
