There is some extra space (little loose) in the crease area between the seat and the seat back. I'm planning on doing 4 Manifolds 1 lower out 1 lower in 1 upper out and 1 lower in. basic plan is to have a larger tube (1/2"?) and a series of t's to make a long manifold across the with of the seat.

Those electric coolers are pelter based.

Please do let me know how the bilige pumps work for small tubing.
