Guys,

So I had a bit of time to play around with this….




It's got a water jacket around the bearing carrier boss, and the water sprays down the outside of the drive case.

Thoughts….?

Thanks. Brad.

Teagues are the same thing.

TMMII,

Are they internally water cooled? The pics I’ve seen are thicker than OEM, and made from billet, making them considerably stronger, but most still have a drive shower mounted above them.

Thanks. Brad.

yes, they use a pickup to feed the water to the cap and then it dumps around it like a shower.

TMMII,

Got a link? I can’t find it. All I’m finding is the one where, in the description, it says ,”For your drive shower, longer spacers and bolts may be required.”

Thanks. Brad.

Avanti,

I’ve heard that. But have yet to see one.

Thanks. Brad.

If you decide to make these and sell them, please reach out to me. I specialize in custom built bravos that withstand some horsepower and I’d be happy to promote your product. I’ve also got 3 or 4 different style water cool top caps here along with a water cooled back cap if you would like some other ideas.

Adrenaline,

I am still working out some of the details. It occurred to me that, as designed, I wouldn't be able to use it with my Mayfair hydraulic steering bracket, as the bracket would interfere with the hose connection. I have yet to get back to reworking the water inlet, and there's more to it that it appears on the surface. But I will get around to it sooner than later.

Thanks. Brad.

The wags engineering one are fully water cooled, and then it dumps onto tye side of the case. I have a set and I can send ya a pic when I think if it. Definitely is a nice piece of work….and that’s coming from a machinist as well. I’m not sure if he still makes’em or not but if i remember right he went by wags382 on this site
