Need A Quote- RFQ-small (RC) radiator

[Double J]

I need just one of these made, if it works like I'm hoping I may need more later down the road or another made with adjustments.

This is to be used on a radio Controlled Nitro rig and will be a functional radiator to cool the liquid that will run to the engine.

Time wise I'm flexable but would like it as quick as could be, for testing.

I'd also like to keep it as inexpensive as possible since I'm allready over the alloted funds for this project.

I've tried to make it some what adjustable for various resons but want to try and keep it as much as possible in the overal size.

I may need to add a way to mount a small computer fan to it after testing. For now I can fab up something that'll work. so that may be something you want to keep in the back of you heads when responding or making.

I appologize for the elementry drawing but I"m just working with what I have, the cleanest way possible.
PM me here w/ RFQ's..

Edit: needs to be aluminum for best heat transfer. It can also be .75" thick if it's easier to machine.

Double Edit: Please contact me for image. after some good advice it will only be available to those interested in quoting and agreeing to a non-disclosure via PM.

Basically if you contact me through a PM on this forum you are agreeing to all non-disclosure laws, federal and local government.
All images submited by me are also covered under Federal Copy right laws.

When responding through PM please sign with your full legal name and address.
Thank you.

Thanks

Oh thanks for the advice.

i also hope this doesn't detour anyone away from a quote.

...I'm not quoting.

Why not use one of those CPU heatsinks used for liquid cooling overclocked CPUs? Should be able to pick one up cheap on Ebay.

As far as I'm concerned, for a part like this you're going to need a solid model to even get guys to look at it. I wouldn't touch this job without one...too much information missing, too much left for interpretation, and too many ways for it to go wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I know about radiators and this would be a very cool part to make, but without a toleranced print and a whole lot more info (solid model), if your machinist sends you something that you didn't want, there's nothing to go back to, and it is NOT his fault!

Also, this:

will turn more people off than the lack of information. We all know that we're competing against each other, so common sense should tell you that you'll be getting prices as low as each machinist is comfortable with. Your quote also tells us that your funds are questionable, and that you're looking for price over quality. Personally, I wouldn't even bother with that situation.

If you do get any quotes, be prepared. This will be an expensive part no matter how you cut it.

I appreciate the feed back and I'll learn as I go..

I'm well aware of the lack of detail and for things to go wrong and I'm comfortable with that. If I was really concerened with it to be an exact copy, I'd had a dxf, dwg file done up. since this is a prototype to test my idea I'd left some details to interpretations for the machinest to adjust to their capabilities or comfort zone? since it's small. This is a test piece and will most likely be used as a steping stone.

I get where you're coming from. Just didn't want to be gouged on the price. I'm well aware of the potential costs on a project such as this.

I truely appreciate your honesty and feed back. It defenatly helps a bunch.
thanks

I'll work on an exact CAD file and repost this..

still looking for a quote.

I also managed to do a DWG file I can email you. it's nothing great but might get you a better idea of what I'm going for.
I'm still learning CAD so bear with me. THANKS
