Right now the coolant reroute flange drama is a ******* disaster. I just need a god damn flange, and no one can seem to put 2 and 2 together on a simple concept.

This is not complicated, you just need some flat stock 1/4-1/2" Al and give them dimensions of what you want done, they could spit 10-20 of these in a few hours for less than $20 each. Way less I assume.

If I had any free time right now I'd find a shop that can do it and do the R&D on the fittment myself and then find someone with AL welding skills to do what I can't...**** work man, I have no life!!!

A poor drawing of a coolant outlet for the back of the head.
It places t-stat at the head, has heater feed/return and routes the coolant towards the coldside via hardline. You could add a bung for a sensor or two if you want to. You can have it made out of AL or SS, should be very cheap and do exactly what we all want it to do.
It seems like such a simple solution, I wonder why no-one has it on the market. It would replace several expensive to make pieces like t-stat housings, a big thick flange with heater holes that you have to buy fittings for, etc.
