    Wanted To Buy Water swirl pot

    Looking for a water swirl pot. Dimensions roughly 8"L x 3" diameter (1.0 L capacity). Looking for the inlet to come in at a 45 degree and outlet straight down. Inlet/outlet need to be 1.0" OD

    Arax

    Something like this, but overflow fitting should be inline with the inlet side. Too bad this one only comes with 1.25" hose config.

    Saldana racing products has an 8.5 x 3 tank that they could probably put your in, out and neck on as a custom order. They do nice work. I have 2 cars with custom radiators and a custom water expansion tank.

    Check out:

    It has 1.25" inlet and outlet, but reducing/expanding silicone hose is easily found.

    Using reducing hoses was my 2nd option. The 2 hoses and a union coupler is about $65 (the union also adds another clamp that can fail). I'd prefer getting a new swirl pot with the right size for $100.

    I was looking at this piece:

    I'll take a look at the Saldana Racing.

    Thumbs up for Dave at Saldana. They built a radiator for me a year or so ago. I had prompt communications with them and the radiator is great. i wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

    Another vote for Saldana, if they don't have it in their catalog, they will make whatever you need at a very reasonable price. Quality stuff.

    I can build aluminum header tanks to your specs. Just made one for a customer in Florida. Just send me a PM.
