Hi guys, in between prepping the moulds for the carbon tub i'm trying to sort the tunnel package and hope some of you more experienced guys can weigh in with some thoughts.
I plan to route the main cooling pipes and the rad air bleed line down the tunnel. first question, is this likely to be an issue with the bleed line being this low ? should I route it somewhere else so its always higher than the top of the rad ?
next question, pipe materials. I see stainless steel is a common choice, i'd like to go aluminium for the reduced weight, but am I missing some important factor? Also If I go Ali should I worry about coating/anodising it against corrosion ? The tunnel will be sealed underneath and the pipes will be well thermally insulated to protect the carbon tub.
last question, rad air bleed line, what approx min size should i plan for, and what material do people usually use ?
all suggestions gratefully received, cheers
