Hi folks,
Does anyone know where I can get the metal pipe that connects to the top of the rad hose and goes to back of engine.
Mine has just spung a leak, I might be able to weld it when I get it off.
But just in case it would be handy to know where to get a replacement it looks like its just a bridging pipe in that case I'll find another bit of pipe.
My car is a sporty 1991.

You could try ebay as when I last looked a good number were being broken or, cut out the section leaking and replace with a bit of straight roubber hose and 2 jubilee clips.
