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?

Cripes, over £200!! Any more of these hidden expensive parts. Lol - think I'd make one of those too.

I think the part he requires is the water pipe that sits on top of the engine is made of metal and has about 4 outlets off of it, i'll go and take a piccy

Ok so it to a while but here are some pics of the offending article

yep thats the one, that one looks as bad as mine,

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

Mines a 1985 1.9 water cooled my friend i'm gonna talk to a local company tomorrow about fabricating some as they're obviously in short supply.

I think they'd be snapped up if they can

MINES A 1984 1.9 DF .

as i thought. a DF.....
not as many about as you think, and differnet pipes to a dg coz of the likkle carb...
sorry the pipes i have are dor a early dg sys, no help to you....
