Interesting Mod:
I stumbled across this last night and I'm seriously thinking about installing one on a D2.
I'd install it on the straight section of 1.25 coolant hose that runs thru the upper shroud. Then without a shadow of a doubt I could keep an eye out for bubbles, debris, and it would look pretty darn cool to boot. The unit I'm looking at is around 60.00 for a viewing area of 4 inches. I might be able to get it cheaper if I look around.

I did some poking around on Mcmaster and couldn't find any plastic or regular tubing rated for over 180F
For example, acrylic: https://www.mcmaster.com/#clear-plastic-pipe/=1cbxzmr
Tubing: https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-p...ubing/=1cbxy2a
