water pipe replacement

Post by **the14wheeler** » 21 Aug 2009, 14:26

can any one advise if it is possible to fabricate a section of water pipe from copper piping, as i am finding it impossible to get a replacement pipe i thought i could make one.the only problems i can see are that the temp sensor for the electronic manifold heater is in this bit of pipe and what type of pressure does it run at.has any one made one before and with what results.

Hi

I can't see why not, central heating systems run under pressure.

Is this what you are looking for?

it would really help if you stated what engine and year it is, we cant read minds you know.
looks like late early water sys from the pix. i have the early early version of that pipe in my stores, but i dont think that going to help you
