[SIZE="4"][B]Filtering Your 6.4L Coolant, Part 2: Final Prototype and Installation[/B][/SIZE] [B]Final Prototype Bracket[/B] Welcome back! Our final bracket prototype is in and ready for installation. Check it out! [ATTACH=full]148323[/ATTACH] [I]Mishimoto 6.4L coolant filter bracket[/I] [ATTACH=full]148324[/ATTACH] [I]Mishimoto 6.4L coolant filter bracket[/I] 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. [ATTACH=full]148325[/ATTACH] [I]Coolant filtration kit hardware[/I] Next, we assembled our filter housing, filter, and bracket together. [ATTACH=full]148326[/ATTACH] [I]Coolant filtration kit assembled[/I] We then installed this system to ensure fitment on our test vehicle. [ATTACH=full]148327[/ATTACH] [I]Coolant filtration kit installed[/I] [ATTACH=full]148328[/ATTACH] [I]Coolant filtration kit installed[/I] 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!

Check out the route of these lines. [ATTACH=full]148330[/ATTACH] [I]Coolant filtration hose routing[/I] Once installed, the primary components of this kit are hidden from view. Here is what you will see once this kit is in place.

And that’s it, the project is complete. Check out a shot of all components included in this kit!

For those interested in picking up this kit, we will be launching a discounted pre-sale next week! Thanks[/B] [/QUOTE]
