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!
