Trying to figure out a connector fix for a project. Need some case modder assistance

Ok I need to figure out how to get compression fittings to mount to the side of a box.
*edit* Its made out of metal. forgot that. Im not sure how think the plating will be.

I made a fairly ok paint picture at least trying to help me describe this. I want there to just be two compression fittings mounted to the side of this box, but that requires I have two on the inside as well. I think, So.. Thats what Im trying to get at. I hope that makes some sense, with the picture : Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
596

Any ideas? Im using 1/2 by 3/4'' OD tubing as well. And I plan to hardline the inards of the box only. Figure thats some valueable info.

A bulkhead fitting should do it.

I was assuming that it was sheet metal or thin metal plate, if not respond with thickness and we will find a solution without any question. Modding rules ! smile.gif

Well I'll post what Im doing. and I need 4 bulkheads now, and 24 monsoon fittings. Heres a preview of what Im making. Im re creating the aquacomputer aquaduct 720 Mark IV. Heres what I got. Paint* Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
530

Green is the tubing, Black is the connector tubing, which will also actually be green, then the silver is going to be hardline tubing.
The parts:
Asus rampage IV extreme with koolance blocks
Apogee HD waterblock
two 7970's with a crossfire X block connector
Aquacomputer -aquastream XT pump
Xspc radiators, One 3X120mm EX120 crossflow radiator, then one 3X120 Regualr Rad.
And a frozenQ custom Res -green helix.
All in a Temjin TJ11
Thats my plan.

Total cost for all the parts for the external recreation so far is 648.00 without shipping and some metal/paint. acrylic parts.. Good stuff! biggrin.gifthumb.gif
