<<Coolant Line - Engine to Radiator
Stainless Steel - a Bus Depot Exclusive!>>
Uh Oh.
A bit of a fib.
No, just a plain old lie.
There was somebody else way ahead of the BD on this revolutionary
coolant line update.
Innovative?
No.
Duplicator?
Sure.
Exclusive?
Absolutly not.
<<Description: Replace your old coolant line with a no-rust Stainless
Steel replacement>>
This all depends on what grade of stainless the pipes are made out of.
The low grade stainless will rot as fast as plain old steel.
It's just as corrosive.
And from every indication from the price of the pipes I would think that
these are the low grade stainless.
<< imported from Germany exclusively by The Bus Depot!>>
Hmm.
"Imported from Germany."
You mean Germantown Wisconsin Ron?
Or is there a town or burg somewhere close to you that goes by the name
"Germany?"
Or is the steel mfg's. home base in Germany?
I recall a posting awhile back regarding some genuine "Made In Germany"
hub caps you sold, with a "Made in China" sticker inside one of them
that the buyer found that you forgot to remove prior to shipment.
Are these pipes from the same kind of outlet?
<< This is the long coolant line that goes from front to rear under your
van, but made up of two halves for easier installation (and much cheaper
shipping), with a short rubber coupler between the two.>>
What kind of rubber hose is this?
Plain old rubber hose won't really be very long lasting or durable, nor
will it support the long suspended tubes for very long.
You also supply the stanless clamps for the union too.
Right?
How many?
<<Availability: Usually ships in 1-3 working days (sooner if ordered via
air shipment)>>
How do you ship the pipes, (UPS,USPS,Fed-EX,DHL, or Forward Air?) and
what is the handling fee for these pipes that you tag onto every order?
<<Country (if noted) is the country in which the manufacturer is based.
Because many companies now have factories worldwide, the actual part
could be made elsewhere.>>
And here is the kicker.
It may, or may not be an actual made in Germany pipe depending on who's
got what the cheapest and who's bending the pipes.
Are these Mandrel bent Ron?
No Kinks?
What is the actual wall thickness of the pipe?
I didn't notice you mentioning that.
Just curious what you have here, and what the bottom line will
inevitably be.
