Hi Abvolt, You are going all out, I will be monitoring this thread to watch you put it together. Can't wait to see it completed. Go with the red koolance coolant. I use the blue koolance coolant, it does not stain your tubing or reservoir and lasts a few years before you have to change it. You can even mix metals with it.

If EK fittings are the high-end of custom loops, Monsoon is the insane end of fittings.

yes, in the opposite end.......

You dont want them in your system..

some of the late batches of EK 90 degree adapters has been REALLY poor (and prone to leak), check your if you got any.. they got a more matte look than the old ones, and are really loose in the joint

Ok, now i saw, you dont got Ek, my faulty.. Sorry
