I don't suppose anyone has a set of the metal heater pipes that run down the the N/S of the engine?

I'm trying to get mine built back up, mine are perforated! lol, and will probably struggle to obtain any due to some festivities people keep talking about!

It's a 1994 400 HC, I'm not sure if they differ?

Thanks in advance.

Ditch them and run new pipes from the heater, through the bulkhead, under the inlet manifold and to the connection on the inlet manifold and the other to the S/S pipe, (in my case, serp).

With the correct concentration & quality of antifreeze steel coolant pipes and core plugs will last almost indefinitely from internal corrosion wink S6otty I think Pupp will be your man for doing away with the stock monstrosity that the Serp cars have scratchchin he did away with that rail on the car and made up something far better.

Cant believe I overlooked them on my quest to surround myself with parts to complete it!

Thanks for the advice, I have some LR one's, they are no good!

I will look at re-routing to do away with them!

Bruing the pipes under the inlet then 1 has a tight turn to come back on itself to go to the inlet.
I made a 180 deg turn with a couple of 13mm end feed plumbimg fittings and painted them black.
