Thanks for all of your replies. I did find a bunch more companies that manufacture the chrome style waternecks on line, but they all look the same and of the same quality. I did also find extra waternecks on the Summit website, and the one on the Branda site. The Branda waterneck looks similar to the original type waterneck. I wanted something with a little better appearance, and possibly to add AN fittings like I saw on a car that also had AN fittings from the radiator (so It had two AN fittings on either side of the stainless hose from the radiator to engine--clean setup easy to remove). I was pondering this setup since Griffin radiators have the option usings AN fittings if you order it.
So, I finally found what I was looking for when I seached the
www.csicsi.com website. They have the exact waterneck I was looking for. Here is the description:
"These CNC Machined Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum swivel housings are available for 1-1/4",1-1/2", -12AN, and -16AN fitting hose connections and will swivel a full 360° for ease of hose connections in any position. The flange is sealed at the manifold with an O-Ring, eliminating the gasket. Stainless steel hardware included."
It seems a bit expensive, but I am hoping this is the last one I will have to buy. They also come in cool anodized colors. I'll be buying mine in summer and will give an update on how everything goes. As for the AN setup I am undecided, especially since I am unsure as to when I can afford to buy a Aluminum radiator, and from, which manufacturer.
