    Carbon fiber motor cooler

    I found some carbon fiber motor coolers from Fast Electrics and looking at the pictures of them i cant figure out how they work. It looks like a round sleeve that slides over the motor but its tight to the motor and there is no in/out tubes. What missing here? Thanks

    He supplies the fittings that go on the sleeve. You have to drill the holes and glue in the fittings.

      And as far as it sealing to the motor? I see no o-rings like the aluminum units Off Shore sells.

        -O- rings come with them and must also be glued in place. they are light but are kinda one time use only

            Good job but a little tip you should fill from the closest point to the bottom and out at the highest point possible, at opposite ends. This makes for complete flow and better cooling

              Andy is right here, A jacket cooler should be fed from the bottom and exit at the top, good flow of coolant and prevents air locks too.

                Thanks Simon, at last we agree on some thing!! I must mention that if you use epoxy these are not one use only coolers. If you heat up the ends gently with a hair drier or hot air gun you can peel the epoxy away and reuse the cooler
