Turnigy 180 cooling upgrade

I've seen several variations on this method. Some just use the center void. Here's a simple way to use the entire plate. IIRC I've seen something pretty close to this way of doing it. Here's how I did it :

Drilled through the side passages into the center void. (Relieved the side-fin with a dremel to allow clearance for drill bit)

Tapped the outside wall of the side-passage tube with a 6-32 tap & blocked off with set screws sealed with JB

Made block-off plates for the ends of the center passage with some scrap aluminum & carefully JB'd to attach & seal

Water enters the first tube-passage, enters the center void, does its heat exchange, exits into the other tube-passage & out the hull exit.

I'll pressure test as soon as the JB cures.
