Shoeless GTM #501 Here we go!!!

I used ceramic header wrap and covered it with aluminum tape. You can see it is a lot smaller in the picture of how I organized the piping in my tunnel.

Maybe I'm concerned about running out of space, but should think twice about replacing the insulation I went with. Here is a pic of it. Its a high temp

Was the bulk of the tunnel pipe insulation encroaching on something? If I was running my coolant through the tunnel (one of the first decisions I made

Tanderson1's build thread..
