custom mounting bracket

[Tobywon]

Hi all,
I am considering creating a custom mounting bracket to hold my tube res and pump to the motherboard.

My thought it the res sitting on a plate which supports it with one hole going through which allows the pump to connect, just like the Koolance Reservoir mount. My question is would this need a rubber seal between the res and holding plate it sits on.

So res-seal-plate-(seal-fitting) obviously with the seal being the O-ring on the fitting.

Is this seal needed between plate and res? and are there any male to male connectors which have a longer thread one side to allow a double O-ring and plate or would a normal thread length be adequate.

Any help on this would be welcomed or information relating to similar projects people have done so I can compare.

Cheers

No this makes sense, cheers, i realise now upon rereading the OP its not terribly clear. Cheers though I thought this was the case wanted to make sure.

Its because im trying to create a mounting bracket to hold a 250 tube res and d5 with EK top which can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Similer to the new XSPC all in one jobbies but made by me.
