2 pounds of brass shouldn't be needed for this application. :shrug: IMO the meter should be as small as possible to fit in all cases not just monster cases. It should be no larger than 2" x 2" x 1.5" thick and preferably smaller. Shouldn't weigh more than 1/2 pound. Delrin would probably be the thing to use. Anything larger than a MCP350 pump would be to big and take up to much room in mid to small cases. If they want to sell a lot of these then they need to make them fit in as many variety of cases possible. Seeing the flow isn't necessary either but would be nice.
