Hello-
I am in the process of replacing the rubber radiator hoses on my '67 XKE, the prior owner had used a universal flexible lower pipe from the waterpump to the lower radiator connection. I see from the book is is supposed to be rubber with a metal pipe in between. I of course do not have the metal pipe and would like to source a piece of stainless to replace it with. Need to know the size and the length of pipe I need. Anyone have this info? Ideas on where to find the pipe?
Thanks
Ed
 
You may have to first get one from a supplier like XK's Unlimited as a pattern piece. IIRC, the pipe is HUGE.. like 1.75" diameter?

I've no example to check here, but mebbe Fearless Leader or Jesse could shed more light on the piece and its physical dimentions.
