When I originaly did my cooling mod it was this time last year.
After I inspected the parts I was disapointed to say the least.
Here is the original thread I wrote:

I was dissapointed that the kit was only 1/2" diameter hose and well being myself, I thought I gotta fix it! so I made mind 5/8" diameter hose. The more fluid you can move the better. The kit also came with a weld in bung (much like the competition) and after pricing in taking it to a tig welder and redoing the powder coat I figured that would cost a boatload. Then I thought about trying to use a rod and MAP gas, but you gotta buy the MAP kit, then teach yourself how to braze. Now in all honesty I can tig and braze but this is suppose to be something a regular Joe can do..... Right? Tig welders charge because it takes time, brazing for a first time is also not a very easy task and WILL take more than 1 rod for a beginner
I ended up putting the entire kit in the trash, with the exception of the fittings. That's where the gold is, they are regular 1/2" NPT so you can get as wild as you like with hose diameter 5/8, 3/4",1". Were cooling cylinders here so dont attempt to do it with 1/2" hose.
I have been in close contact with "The Authorized Manufacturer" or these connectors and will offer them in a kit.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE KIT AND WANT JUST CONNECTORS THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE!!!
