BlueAqua's SuperProject: MurderMod TJ-07, MM UFO, V2000

Hi BlueAqua, are you using 2 o-rings to seal against the GTZ and NB block recesses? Or to provide enough "squish" to rotate the barbs to the proper angle?

Both reasons actually. I was hoping I'd get lucky and the barbs would align, but they wouldn't. Since the Swiftech GTZ and chipset block have a recessed o-ring there is a gap that needs to be filled. With only one O-ring the metal is pressed right against the derlin, and I doubt the O-ring is compressed at all. So an extra O-ring not only ensures it'll seal but also provides a little more play so I could align the barbs. It worked out really well I have to say. We'll see if it leaks or not since O-ring to O-ring isn't necessarily a good thing.

Yeah that's what I figured. Those recesses can be irritating now that the market has moved to recessed fittings. Maybe put lube on those o-rings in case rubber on rubber friction cause them to stretch in funny and bad ways, if you haven't already? Will you switch to BP swivel 90s when they're available again?

Great work man. Everything is so clean. And so many nice cases to play with.
