Someone  was asking about these about a  month or so ago.
I found two while I was reorganizing the hangar.

They come without the radiator cap fitting and the pipes but you can buy
those at low cost from Jeggs and Summit.

We won't be making anymore in the near future
so get them while their hot.

$50 plus shipping.

The demand exceeded the supply by 3 so far.
I owe one to the guy that requested it a month ago.

Since that design and build was done years ago Rhino 3D has improved
and I now have access to a 5 axis NC mill. About the bolt on water neck it was
designed to use... I am not sure that is still available. Of course
any water neck will work if tig welded on. The results of all this means it
is now possible to make a better version with a weld on lower cost
filler neck and and about a pound less weight. The current version
is 2 pounds.

However costs have risen. I am guessing the cost will be $85. I am
willing to make another ten at this price. So if you are using an RX8 water
pump let me know if you want one of the newer versions. To some of those
people I agreed to send them the old version I am sorry but
one of them was previously ordered so I am now out.

So let mew know what you are  thinking. How many are planning
a p-port slide throttle? That is what it is designed for.
Of course it can be used on any RX8 water pump to get the
cooling system over on the cool side of the engine or on the
bottom of the engine.


Here is something like what the new version will look like.
It will be designed to use this light weight, low cost filler neck.
