Sort of like those custom car wheel with 4 lug studs that have 8 holes for two different sizes...not for me.
Not sure on mounting pressure, being down low like this may help ensure a centered alignment on the chip, I can only think it would help mounting consistency some.
Anyhow sorry to be off topic, back to some EK stuff. I hope Eddie is still considering me for pressure drop testing when the new nozzles for the EK come out. I'd like to see a pressure drop and thermal performance of each plate..:up:
