Yes, I deliberately selected a cooler that had a recess in the bottom (most of them do anyway) so that I could run the flexible tubing there underneath the manifold. When I was testing the deadspace in the MLT I found that adding three small slits to that flexible tubing reduced the deadspace quite a bit further. I think I discussed that early in the thread too but it has been years now!
EDIT: Here is a link to the discussion centered around getting the manifold flat against the bottom of the cooler.
