The remainder of this thread will be moved to my 37 in mono build thread...
I have since made one from nontransperant alum and have the weights posted there...

Lonewolf, I like your design for the mount but just so you dont waste your time, I wonder if the mount needs cooling at all? If your final product is alum. then that should conduct heat well enough. Perhaps some fins cut into the clamps would dissapate the heat better than cooling? Of course then your weakening the structure I guess. Cool thinking and nice machining.

I have since made a alum set. The watercooling adds very lil extra weight and worth every gram. I have heard these motors run plenty warm and heat is a brushless motors enemy... i am running it in a 37 in mono and she will be getting a workout...
