The Reservoir
Start to Finish..

The 1.5" acrylic tube from earlier. It arrived with some scuffs, so it started a bit messed up from the beginning.

1/4" thick acrylic for the end caps.

Drilled and tapped for G1/4"

Fits!

The finished end caps.

I used the thicker #16 as it's a bit easier to work with.

Came out decent, seeing as this was my first acrylic reservoir. Regular fitting is the inlet, while the stubbie is for filling/bleeding.

Outlet to pump.

The whole package.

The end caps for the decorative cover... I had to do it this way, so there would be no aluminum in the loop. Original idea was to just tap these end caps and let it be. It's a bit uglier this way, but at least there will be no corrosion.

I also ran them over a belt sander to give them the brushed look.

The 1/2" diameter bars that make up the structure of the res.

Assembled.

Another shot. it should look good filled with orange coolant. Now to leak/pressure test this thing.
Enjoy!
