Default radiator piping?

Guys

I'm looking to relocate a radiator on the Duc, and need to build a custom radiator pipe setup.

Where does one find radiator piping of different bends and diameters? Is there a place that sells various piping bends and radii, etc?


thx

Find a tube bender or shop that has one and make your own. You can probably get the thin wall aluminum tube from Mcmaster-carr and use something like a wire coat hanger to get a bend template then take it to a shop that bends tube, just a thought,

samco might cutom make the hoses for you from stock

i will go try to redig up a piping place i found b4

FWIW, my local hardare store carries some aluminum tubing up to 1" hollow i think. take some PVC pipe and mock up what you need done. go to fabricator with aluminum and PVC mock up and have them replicate it

To make space for the front wheel.
