junkyard is a good bet. Other than that do a search for a part #, or someone else who has the # may chime in here. I doubt it is something you can still get dealer, but ya newver know.

Re: help me find this part!!!!

do yourself a favor and use aluminum tubing from an old air conditioner or something else

steel rots out and is pointless to use, old or new all it does is put rust and crud into your engine and core and radiator, engineers who came up with the idea of using cheap steel need to be shot

if i had a nickel for every time ive seen these rot out then well you knwo what....

also find aluminum tubing in the junkyard on an old van or limo or lots of different vehicles

ive junked many over the years and had lots of this tubing heater core sized

its really common


45 bucks for a piece of cheap thin steel tubing is train robbery

insane..

if you stop and think a little you can figure out LOTS better repair methods and materials for pennies


good luck

So a small steel pipe is going to put more rust into the engine than the giant hunk of iron the engine block is made of? I agree though, $45 is pretty steep for a little metal hardline.
