    Default 90 degree water pipes, RF-94/95 FC

    Fellas;

    I need both left and right 90 degree aluminum water pipes that plug into the upper radiator inlets.

    Rick-

    Most conversions will retain these pipes... Comprent might have them?

    That's what I was thinking.

    You could, alternatively, buy hoses with 90 degree bends and connect them with straight pipe.

    Another alternative:

    Purchase the appropriate size aluminum tubing for your application, bend it up to whatever specs you need, then use a tubing beader (mid way down the page) to put a bead around the end for hose retention.


    Cheers,

    OK, I give. What's the difference between a Left and a Right 90 degree bend?

    They may not be flat and 90 degrees. They may also bend upward toward the water pump or inlet? Just guessing.

    I've managed without a tubing beader by laying a weld bead around the tube. Not as pretty, but it will work in a pinch.

    They be the ones.

    I have elected to play with mine. Any tube beaders available for rent?
