I do test some of my previous coolers. I just haven’t tested store bought coolers because they obviously work better than my DIY cooler kits and even they can achieve 10-20% temperature drop in poor conditions. Here my most recent tests (towards the end of the video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbl6oduKmc_cc2Q.htmlsi=cKzPMBBRflim_BXY

I omitted it because it wasn't pretty I used a chisel to pop the spot welds, some tore a small hole in the tank which is pretty hard to avoid. But I wasn't too concerned because the tank was already compromised at the seam. so I JB welded to small holes that were created then with the flex seal inside its sealed, Then to reattach it I used silicon adhesive. As for the caps, I have one but its really just a replacement fuel filler cap that fits.

@@ecophage Thanks for the reply and honesty! That was my first thought to try and find a generic chrome cap at the auto parts store.. I’m glad you made the video, I was surprised to see a vid with the same cooler I have!

Ugh, I JUST sold my last one, a complete original Ive been sitting on for a year. The buttet coolers arent cheap though, $800+ Ive got lots of other coolers available from about $200-$750

@@ecophage where can I see the coolers you have available? I don’t need a restored one, I gonna use it on a patina bus

@@slowmovingvdubs9539 WWW.VINTAGESWAMPCOOLERS.COM

@@albertchavarin6538 we have a full kit available on our website. It includes a pump, filter and hoses. Alternatively I believe the pump was a fiat washer fluid pump not cheap about $50

Yes and yes. I’ve got a completely original bullet cooler exactly like this in amazing condition. The only part not original is the fill cap. I’ll sell it all original or I can put in a fresh filter and water pump for a little extra. Contact me through the website for more info: www.vintageswampcoolers.com

@ecophage your name is Chris correct? Do you have a business number we can talk over the phone I need your help and will pay u I can tell u have passion I would be honored if u could help the cooler issue on my mother's car etc looking forward to hearing from you

I’m so sorry to hear that. You’re not going to believe this but I have probably the most perfect example of one of these that I happened upon pretty magically. I was lucky enough to not only find local to me a completely original bullet cooler exactly like in this video but made it there before anyone else. It was this gentleman’s father’s and had been on his model t but was sitting on a shelf for the last 40 years. I’ve been saving it for quite a while not posting on my website waiting for someone to come looking. (The way I look at it I’d rather save the best coolers for those willing to reach out to me then sell them to people browsing the internet and not have some on hand when people come looking) The bullet cooler I have is all original except the cap which is a replacement. The filter and pump will need replacement but I can do that for you before shipping it. If you email me through the website I can provide further details Www.vintageswampcoolers.com There should be a contact button up top I think. Message me back on here if you have any issues

Yeah oh I see you contacted me through the site. Thank you
