Did my own!

Reverse engineering those is rather elementary lolll and Fun! What the hell... took me half day, from model to turning them in the CNC lathe. Had a hard time finding pre-fab seals however but someone helped me out with that. Week later I had my six custom plug tubes installed in the box!

Screw steel mate, awful convections....similar to those of composites. But cheap to make that's an advantage! Made mine out of 7075 at temper 6 and type II anodized them to Mil Spec 8625 (20µ).

Seals are from an 'unknown' source/material but was told they were high temp o-rings. Unlike on that old solid model I found a minute ago, they are freakish purple colour :/

But then who cares lolll Good news is two years later, still no leaks.

Cheap Cheap, made in China my man $9.99. Good for life!

(those f n oem plastic tubes... mine were leaking hell-juice all over my floor)
