Notes

  • Two halves close on the tube OD in the same place as the finned cooler. Each half is a sealed half-annular chamber: inner wall 2 mm on the tube, chamber 10 mm, outer wall 2 mm, closed ends and a closed split wall, so each half holds its own fill (50.3 mL).
  • Each half has one fill port at its top: a Ø6 port through a Ø12 × 4 boss on the outer wall, 8 mm below the top end, closed by the cap (Ø6 spigot). Fill it with the jacket standing as on the engine, port up. The fill is the builder's choice.
  • The same four M4 × 30 screws and nuts as the cooler hold the halves on the tube.

Questions

How much does the jacket hold?

50.3 mL per half, 100.7 mL in all.

Can I use it with the fins?

Not on the same 3 in spool: both take the whole plain length. It replaces the finned cooler.
