What constitutes "specialist coolant"... anything with corrosion inhibitors? I was under the impression that using automotive fluids (like anti-freeze) in a loop was harmful to plastic parts inside a pump. I’m wondering if something like Feser Base would suffice. I have some copper radiators on-hand that I’d like to use but mixing metals just sounds like it's asking for trouble.

ok cheers for replies!

yeah i can get some great coolant locally through these blokes - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=207_160_301&zenid=a4d940bbc49b2e11ffb4c6443805eb53

is the tubing length supplied with the C1 adequate or is it beneficial to have a longer length?

Also how is the assembly of the cooling fans/hoses/attachments with the supplied gear, any extra things that makes install a breeze needed or is it all pretty adequate?
