I have the end fittings so should be able to fit those, but I'm not having much luck finding the tube - although repco does list it as a "special order". Any pointers?

I'd also be grateful for an idea of where the tube is routed - I think it goes around behind the engine but not sure where it would be clamped to?
Thanks again for all the great help

As you suggest, it runs round the back of the head. Mine is not clamped anywhere but I seem to remember it should be clamped with a light metal bracket under one of the manifold bolts.
