CNC Machined Coolant Spacers
After making some custom CNC machined aluminum billet coolant spacers for myself and several other forum members, I have had quite a few people contact me asking if I could do a low quantity production run and offer them at a lower cost.
So, here’s the deal. I went ahead and placed an order for20 40 coolant spacers similar to the one shown in the photo. The main difference in the new design is that it includes a 3/8”-18 NPT port instead of an AN10 ORB port for the heater barb. The inclusion of an M12 x 1.5 port for the stock temperature sensor and a 1/8”-27 NPT port for an extra sensor is unchanged. The orientation of the ports is set up for a 1.8 L head, and the spacer will work with the Kia Sephia/Spectra thermostat cover (0K247-15172A).
Price each is $54 plus shipping and PayPal fees. I can fit up to two in a small USPS Priority Mail box. They will be ready to ship in 4-5 weeks. PM me if you are interested.

Can't PM bit I'm down for one. Just need to understand the 1.8 vs 1.6 orientation?

I'm down for one, but not sure I would need one. (I actually cant reach the oil filter if I block it with a coolant hose, so I'm going to do a partial reroute. I'm going to install a pipe straight from the back of the block towards the hard line bypassing the heater. And I will add 2 5/8ths barbs for the heater, but in this case it gets what's left over vs passing water thru it. I'm no genius, but I'm guessing theres just a bit of restriction/back pressure form passing thru the small tubes/fins. I'm guessing this is the cause of the extra 5* on stock miata's and since I'm staying stockish aka no boost, I dont need the extra complications of a full reroute.
What I do need is 2 coolant temp sensor threads, 1/8ths NPT and 3/8ths because I want 2 coolant gauges (long story....).
