Canuck,
I'm using an aluminum tube with an ID of 1/2in. The OD is right at 5/8in, so that will be an easy hose to find, a really common size in the local hardware store. One of the guys at work started on the welding last night, so hopefully I'll have the finished pieces back tomorrow. I'm going to have the heat-exchanger welded directly to the bottom of the Empi plenum. I've seen some discussion of having a plate welded to the bottom and then welding the heat exchanger to the plate, but that seems to me that I'm them heating air, not the plenum. My personal thought is that it will work better with fastening the tubes with the hot water directly to the plenum for maximum heat. Any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcomed - I'm totally "winging" this, so to speak!!
Thx
SJ
