Modding WaterChill Antarctica Block

A loving memeber of the forum here has sent me one for free, thank you Malcy

I run a 1/2'' system. Can this block be modifiied or has it been done? I've gotten the Astek fitting out now. Brust force with a scredriver, hehehe

I took one of the 3 1/2'' off my D-tek LWW and it looks okay, i think all 3 whould make it look very sexy, along with a led mod too.

I just found that the one off my D-tek are too small, the holes left by the Astek fitting is 16mm ID. What barb will fit that?

Is it easy to tap a thread into the plastic?

Watechill blocks are 3/8" BSP. The next size up is 1/2" BSP

Sounds like you have fubared the block.

Edit: BTW your cooling can not be 21c idle an 28c load. Your sensors lie.

Nope it had some pushin fittings that i pulled out!!! The holes are now 16mm ID!

My cooling is exactly that mate...if ya in Plymouth come see
