    :cries: Ok so i guess this is a learning experience for me. My airtrap started to "crack" where the barbs screw in. I made sure i drilled those holes SLOWLY but it still cracked :( What i should have done is tap the holes (thanks Haddy) but i figured if i drilled slow enough it would be ok. I don't think i have the equipment for it, so now i need an airtrap..*surfing cooling-solutions.de*

    Bad luck! I'm about to (try and) start making my airtrap so I'll bear your experience in mind!:) Good luck with learning German - from what I've seen the translators like google and babelfish don't do some of the more technical terms on the Deutsch w/cing sites :sigh:

    You can mail to "u.bayer@cooling-solutions.de". But why don't you use the shop-system?

    edit: Oh, I see! You can only choose Germany, Austria or Swiss as Countries :rolleyes:

    edit2: I have to tell you that this is a "one man shop" at the moment and that Uwe Bayer has much to do because everyone wants one of his MoRa rads. So perhaps it'll take some time until you get your stuff.

    They problem with this material is how hard it is to machine successfully. While we have all seen the massed produced versions, having a go proves the point.

    Perhaps its a blessing in disguise?

    Best of luck in your quest :dude:

    If you believe what he says, than he must be working the whole day; even on weekends. Seems he hasn't even time to post much in his own forums anymore :rolleyes:

    But he said that he will get help soon and things will get better!

    If you want to know the state of your order, Í suggest to post on the "internal"-Forum on his page:

    Any chance we could see the damage from the cracking?

    It may help us visualise it better.
