This bracket is constructed from 1/8" steel and is powder coated for additional protection against damage from road debris. We overbuilt this unit to ensure longevity and optimal resistance against potential damage.

Check out the hardware we will be using to attach our housing to the bracket. This hardware is also powder coated to prevent corrosion.

As you can see, we are using ball valves at the hose connection point to our filter housing. By shutting these valves, one can perform filter changes without draining a substantial amount of fluid. Here is a closer look!

We are also utilizing silicone lines to route coolant from the heater hose to our filtration system, and then back to the degas port. Check out the route of these lines.
