The problem I am having is sourcing the an-18 stainless weldon bungs....

I am cutting the hose adaptors and welding the male an18 bungs on the gils, tstat housing and manifolds...

No need to do it that way use the same ends on the hose mercruiser
Uses on the hp 500s if your trying to put an fittings on the ends
I don't think they are available

From the link I posted in the other thread

*No hose ends available for hose sizes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 18, 28, & 32. These are to be used with Earl's ECON–O–FIT or hose clamps only

Seems to me like a void in the market.

If I made these, do you think there are enough buyers for it?

no. waste of time .just use the econo fit hose ends .hell its good enough for mercruiser . by the way i made your adapters today .rabbit on 1 side for air cleaner and other side to fit 4150 .cant buy these anywhere

As above!

We will not return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I could use some clarification from folks that are familiar with Gil exhaust. I have a set of Gils that I run with a freshwater full system. I have blocked off the small hose to the riser as it is coming from the manifold that has fresh water circulating. I noticed that, even before the full system was installed, the risers would get hot and you would not want to get too close or you would be a warm arm. What is the recommendation for the small hose if you have a full system freshwater cooling. I could not come up with a better plan and could use some suggestions. Thanks

Ditto. Those are the fittings in my 525SC pic above.
