RE: Homebrew IC's

I for one would appreciate any follow through and details incl. source and
cost if this is/has been proven successful.

If I could mod my current IC for cheap then I'd probably do it.  I don't
want to pay more than $100 to do any of this.  I don't have the time to
scrounge thru boneyards to find one.  I wont pay $500+ for a new one.  I
certainly couldn't see myself having the time to solder copper plumbing like
I suggested yesterday until I retire.

Anything I do to this car has to kind of go through the wifemate approval
process, which is often far more difficult than engineering an inexpensive
solution.  Getting plumbing supplies from homedepot isn't that difficult
though.

TIA for posting your success or failure with end cap mod.
