Steel water pipe

[ChrisGadd]

Hello again I have started to replace the old rubber hoses with nice new silicon ones from ACT so I thought I would drain the system and remove the steel pipe that bolts onto the side of the engine block at the bottom which looked to be in good order until the last bit of hose was removed only to reveal a large hole.
I've tried searching the net for a replacement but don't seem to be able to find any, I have the stainless pipes from ACT but the lower steel pipe is not included. Any ideas where I could find a replacement?

Chris do you mean the small bore pipe that goes under the front pulley then down the side of the block to the heater?

I'd guess it's a Ford part and no longer available? I made a suitable replacement from 15mm copper pipe

Hi Mike ... yes that's the one which annoyingly looked in good order until I removed it. I'm surprised none of our stainless people have seen a gap in the market Although I suppose it is a bit limited?
