Yea I know these wont fit my engine but if I could see your diagrams you sent to the company I could take measurement and knock some diagrams up for what I need. I am just a bit unsure as to what they would need to work from, so by seeing yours might get a bigger picture

all i did was a drawing with the bore (external diamiter) of the pipe, the shape of the pipes with the radius of the bends that i wanted, as mine were all flat bends this was easy, it may be worth eather posting it too them, or if you dont want to do that you could go to you local long life or costom exhaust center as they will be able to shape the pipe for you the only problem that i can for see is them having the corect size spigots. it may be worth sourcing these.

Just broke apart a old mk2 golf 1300 engine with what looks exactly that pipe fitted. Will post a pic up if your still looking for one but when I saw it, though it looked identical and its n good condition. Thanks,
Dan.

Still trying to source a suitable replacement for this pipe.

Any ideas?

If I was to get the diesel one from brickwerks how would I hook the oil cooler up? The pipe would go to it but where would the outlet on the cooler go?

Really stuck on this one at the moment, hoping to see if any local fabricators can knock me one up. Anyone guess how much this might cost?

Thanks
