Hello gang!

So here's my issue and my idea to solve it, but I'm also posting this for the regulars who are much wiser than I in these matters and who's advice I have used in the past and to whom I am most grateful.

I'm stuck with a Z-beast 62" that has crap hydros in it and after much research (and frustration with the manufacturer), I have decided to upgrade and redesign the hydro system and install something like a Hydro Gear ZT-3100 or 3400. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried anything like this and if you have I would love any suggestions. I guess my main issue at this point is I can't find any outer dimensions for these hydros from the Hydro Gear site, just exploded views and such. I know these things are way bigger than what I have now and will take more room to fit so there is my first hurdle. The next issue would be I may have to also redesign how the pulleys will line up with this configuration, as well the hydro to hub, as it is now the Peerless hydro uses a belt to drive the hub to wheel. I'm sure I can fabricate what ever mounts I need to change but I'm not sure about the fan and pulley arrangement on the 3100 and 3400. These have the fan on the top pulley underneath, currently mine has the pulley on the top fan underneath, so I see a potential issue.

Race car folks have been redesigning and re-fabricating for years and I don't see why this would be anymore difficult but I've looked high and low and can't find anything on the web about this. lol

Anyway if you have some ideas or info I would much appreciate it!
