What's the ID and wall thickness of that tube? Any possibility I could run these as water lines...?

Ben - I don't want to hijack this thread so PM me, if you'd prefer. I've purchased 1.25 OD aluminum tube but think I could get by with 1" and all -16 fittings. That's what Tony is running and he's seeing no cooling issues. I wouldn't want to go smaller than that. But do let me know the ID?
Thanks!

Back before these were an option, I used -12 braided lines to feed my front cooler on my 2.7 conversion. It works fine on my street driven car, though I’d prefer going to -16 for a track car. I think Ben’s copy the factory design, so should work well.

Bummer, i would gladly buy a set if they also came in 1" ID. 3/4" is too small for my 3.6L.

I lied, my current lines are -12 so they are in fact 3/4" ID.

Damn it, now you got me thinking ...
