Destined not to end well boy-o! Unless;

Would make for some interesting... :oops:

yup. wall-e doesn't need a spacesuit to operate

little late to this but two things i may suggest,
the return line, i would put a little extra tubing to limit the amount of air bubbles, probably not a problem with a 360gph pump but just a thought

second as for pumps, im a saltwater fish tank guy.....look on craigslist or at a local fish store. Maxijet, 600, 900 or 1200 work perfect for this application and are small then he pumps here (run between 10-20 bucks) and is easy to make fit the tubing.

I actually made a cool child seat for my daughter, if anyone has a child seat im sure they know how hot the baby gets sitting in it.....i had some pumps and tubing left over. three minutes and it was working great. now i just need to get the patent and make millions so i can buy a gt3 or gt2 rs and buy better laptimes :twisted:

I have two dozen fish tank pumps sitting here. They are all 120volt AC.. Where did you find the 12volt versions??

Me too. Another suggestion is aquarium bulkheads for the inlet/outlets. They will seal and you wont need to worry about the silicone mess.

Pics boy-o, or at least a link?

Google is your friend. :)

Sorry, it was late at night :)

Yea, that is the general idea. But they come in different flavors. Some w/ barbed hose ends too.

Something like this, etc. They come either as slip fit or threaded so you can put appropriate barb/fitting on.

McMaster also has:

OOO LOOK! McMaster has "through wall" cool shirt fittings too! Screw the whole bulkhead thing and just get this. Even has flow control so when it is disconnected, water doesnt come shooting out. (the non flow control ones are cheaper). However, unlike the aquarium bulkheads, I dont see a rubber gasket seal.

So I figured a base was in order to keep the cooler from skulling me in the middle of turn one. Here's what I came up with.

I bought some aluminum flat stock from Home Depot. It's inexpensive and came in all sorts of lenghts and widths. I got 4 feet of the 1 1/2 by 1/8 stock and 3 feet of the 2 by 1/8 stock. It was easy enough to cut with a hacksaw.

Here it is laid across the base of the cooler.

To bend it, I used a propane torch, a C clamp, and some scraps of plywood and a pair of vice grips. It made a decent impromptu press break. I had to heat the aluminum for about 30 seconds to make it reasonable to bend.

Then I drilled a few holes and bound it all together.

And here is a close up of the base. As you can see, I'm taking advantage of the strap provided with the cooler to lash it too the base securely. The spacer will give enough rise to get over the uneven floorboards. The flat washers should keep it from pulling through the thin sheet metal.

I think it should pass tech without concern and can be removed quickly with 4 bolts if it interferes with the passenger. What do you think?
