    Just looked at Craddock's site they have in S2 section page 4 of cooling a lower metal pipe for a 2.6Lit for 36.73 pounds not sure if they are the same as the 2 Lit. One of the brains trust may know.

    Well hang on to it mate; it's turning out to be very hard to find.
    I had a look at the craddocks one you seen, and I found an image of it online somewhere, as far as I can see it's not the same piece.

    I dropped mine off at the local exhaust pipe shop, they reckon they will do it for about $60. Time will tell.

    Thanks.

    I took my spare to a custom exhaust shop who specialized in extractors for exoctic cars they said they could not do it . If you have success I will be interested for when the one on the car needs replacing.

    It's the "water pump inlet pipe" #277508.Connecting the bottom radiator hose to the water pump. (2 lt Series 1 engine)

    None of the usual parts suppliers seem to have one and neither does Harry. I suppose I can always make something up, it's a pretty straightforward looking piece.

    Thoughts?
    Chazza was making these. Maybe send him a PM.

    Cheers Charlie

    It may have even reached the stage where I need to make the tube!

    Who ever thought only a few years ago that some common steel sizes would become unavailable!

    Guess that is what happens when manufacturers close or move overseas.

    It is also probably a result of metrication - inch sizes have probably been replaced by metric sizes I suspect.

    Not necessarily; small flat bar such as 12 x 3 is hard to find and most steel was metricated by 1980 in Australia.

    Pipe and tube remained largely in imperial sizes because so much equipment needs to be maintained and the cost to the economy of changing everyone to metric pipe threads would have been too much.

    Think about how many fabricators have closed down recently as more plant is manufactured in Asia. The mining and automotive suppliers have been hit hard.

    Recently I rang a speciality steel supplier in Perth and found myself talking to a man in Melbourne; the Perth warehouse had closed despite the size of WA's mining industry!
