Hey guys,

After a water bypass pipe for an EA81 as I just discovered mine has two beautiful holes in it.

Anyone have one or know the best place to find one?

Cheers,
Andrew.

I made one last week from copper water pipe from Bunnings.

some hydraulic hose specialist joints can make up metal hoses similar to what you want.

does yours have a smaller 7mm ? junction off it ?

Genuine is also still a possibility

I screwed in a air fitting into a tee piece for the small vent line.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

I think the quickest & easiest way out is making a replacement up with copper as suggested.

I'll have a crack tonight & post the results.


Cheers.

make a few extras and stick 'em up for sale !

Mine was corroded to all hell so I made a new one. I used steel and used the original bracket.

Did you end up putting in the vent line?

No its still plugged up.

I know it's not really the place for it but here's a bit of an update.

Ran through a few options using what I had lying around & just happened to have some stainless pipe that would work nicely.

Trimmed it up, put some notches in on the lathe, flaired the ends and silver soldered a smaller stainless pipe for the breather. I cut the bracket off the old pipe & riveted it onto the new one with a small bit of sheet.

Went away for the weekend and it performed flawlessly... Until on the way home
I noticed the temp creeping up, turned out another metal pipe nearby has a pinhole leak in it. Managed to fix it with some duct tape & zip ties to get it home

It never ends...
