I wanted to get an idea of how much cost/ weight savings An Al. rad would be. If you don't
mind weighing it
I'm enjoying the progress!
Even though it is tiny, it is rated for 300HP. I have a Nitrous Scale in the back BRB....
7.275 LBS.

(naked & dry) $259.95 I-merican @ Summit Racing. Prolly be a bit before I can get to the garage to weight the stock one.

I am interested to see how much the MX-3 one weights naked. I bet it is not too heavy without the fan's ect. on it

What's that grommet you have over your fitting? Is that a common part or something special you found? Where do you plan to mount the reservoir?

The grommets are stock they came out of the 323 master cyl. They were friction fit into the master. In this picture they would go in the two large holes facing the camera.

This photo shows the bottle and the grommets that retain it in the master cyl.

In this photo the assembly is together in it's stock configuration. The bottle friction fits into the grommets in the master and it is retained by a small screw.
I am probably going to mount the bottle to the driver side strut tower.

I was actually a professional auto dismantler at a late model "recycling" yard for three years. I am a parts jockey at a speed shop.....again now. Dismantling cars is hard on the body. If only I could put them back togeather as fast as I can take them apart. LOL
Hey wait your just laying it on thick because you need wheel bearings pressed in

I'm always a little concerned when people use aluminum on cars. Aluminum rots so quickly when mated up with steel. Other than that, lots of good work so far.
