Default hi_im_sean lower water neck and front neck block off plates

Lower water neck to replace the stock piece for those that want to lose the hard line and cant do a water neck flip. This neck provides more options for where the turbo coolant and heater returns point as you can see in the pics. There are 2 holes drilled for each fitting, the unused holes get plugged. The heater return can point either forward or backwards, and with the included 45 and 90, the turbo return can be pointed in just about any direction depending on which direction you install the neck. $80 + your choice of shipping.

Includes:
1 neck, for 1-1/4" ID hose (stock miata size)
1 straight 5/8" barb fitting, 3/8 NPT
1 straight 5/16" (8mm) barb fitting, 1/8" NPT
1 45 degree M to F 1/8" NPT adapter
1 90 degree M to F 1/8" NPT adapter
1 3/8" NPT plug
1 1/8" NPT plug
2 of your choice of allen head or hex head bolts with washers. The hex heads happen to be stainless, so I would recommend those.









Block off plates for front of the head to use in conjunction with a reroute. One plain, one extra thick and drilled and tapped for fan switch.

$20 shipped for the plain one, $35 shipped for drilled and tapped plate, fan switch included. Fan switch is used, they will be shipped usps flat rate, no hardware included. The stock neck bolts will work with the plain block off, longer bolts may be needed for the plate w/ switch.

Suggestion: charge an extra 5 bucks and counterbore those holes. Then you can use stock bolts, no issues.

I'm confused. Where does this go? Directly off of the water pump at the line that runs to the heater core/lower rad hose?

Correct.
Dark pic, but you can see you can the one I made for my car half installed here.





Having said that, sale is pending on the neck kit, and the thick plate with switch.

Tempting...VERY tempting!

How long for delivery (as in; do you have to make them, or do you already have 'em on the shelf?).

If you are making them per order, any chance you could sell one not yet drilled? I would not need the plugs and be happy to pay $80 plus shipping.

I only have the one for sale, but I can make a few more if the need is there.

rwyatt365- If you for sure want one, maybe 2 or 3 weeks. let em know.

sonofthehill- I can make one blank for you yes, or I can put the holes where you want them.

If there is any more demand for these after wyatt and son, the price will go up a little.

I'm interested in a water neck if you still have one for sale! My home made one is starting to fall apart ( just a matter of time before it fails) and this seems like the perfect piece for me!
