I have heard that TK's stainless tubes are very nice. Over in SubaruVanagon Land there was a very interesting discussion on the electrical properties of various metals, the upshot of which was that copper would degrade the aluminum of the engine through electrolysis, whereas galvanised steel electrical conduit (1-1/4 " dia) would be fairly neutral. There was at least one owner who had replaced both of the long tubes with the stuff. I'd like to do it myself if I had any time ! I don't have a lot of confidence in the plastic ones Jake On 6/28/06, Stephen Overmyer <S.OVERMYER@uws.edu.au> wrote: > > > > Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:41:26 -0700 > From: Mike Meuser <mike@HISTORICALSCALEMODELS.COM> > Subject: Re: Coolant pipes replacement > > Where can one purchase the SS pipes? > > > Terry K is one source I can recommend....a colourful character and one > time list member. > see http://community-2.webtv.net/VanStuff/VanagonWestfalia/ > > I have dealt with him several times from the other side of the world > and my experiences were nothing less than excellent. > > Cheers, > Steve O > NSW Australia > '92 Transporter WBX Kombi > '00 Transporter Double Cab > '03 Transporter Double Cab (work truck) > '78 Land Rover 109 Series 3 soft top ute (ex-Aust.Army) >
