Has anyone changed their 2 hard copper pipes on a Chim rack for 2 flexible pipes.?
Hottest day of the year so far and spent the day getting the rack out what a nightmare of a job.
Hoses off Y piece off still fouling so cross member off. Yes I did take it out the top bend track rod and pull it out upwards.
All because of the copper pipes foul everything I know you could take them off and refit but I don't want to be refitting after I rebuild the rack.
So has anyone successfully changed too flexible pipes if so where did you get them and the fittings?
Think this will make removal and refitting easier.

Yes it is a pig of a job I have done searches but seems people send their racks away.
I must be a glutton for punishment wanting to do it myself.smash
