I am in the process of doing this now. Call BatInc. if you have any questions or want to purchase one.
The GMP unit uses a Thermo plate. If you want to retrofit, buy the Mocal and the AN8 to 1/2 adapers to fit the Stillen fittings.


My DIY source has the AN8 to 1/2" adapters...

AN to Pipe Adapters - Aeroquip Straight Male Connector, Aluminum

$3.61 eash..

Remember, the Stillen fittings are 90 degrees. You will also need a 90 degree Male AN8 to Female AN8 fitting. Otherwise the hoses may not fit.

I forgot to add that you MUST use the Mocal fittings with the special bonded Mocal washer or the sandwich plate may leak.

I'm sure BAT has AN8 adapters as does racerpartswholesale:
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/3314/s
I should have specified these with the washer...Though I have put together leak free systems without the special Mocal parts..

..I used AN10's with the washers on my Cooler install.



You can do it without the washers, but they do give you an extra degree of security and are no brainers to install. Depends on your fitting needs..
