I recently picked up a TIG welder that allows me to weld aluminum and stainless steel. I'm not there yet, but I am close to earning proficiency with it. One thing I would like to do is to recreate the V12 coolant crossover pipe in stainless steel so I never have to worry about it again. If you have an old crusty one on a shelf somewhere, I'd be interested in it so I can use it as a mock-up. No promises that this works the way I want it to, but if this turns out to be doable I'll send you one free for believing in me.

 

Yes. I have one

 

Has this been sent yet i have kne i think. Spare half decent coolant resiovor to.

would be nice to have a pipe with a built in quality pressure and temp gauge

 

I know you're looking for TIG practice, but just FYI Simply Performance in the UK is already offering this bit in Stainless Steel.

Link please? I can see nothing on their website.

 

It's shown on their Facebook page.

 

No sense in reinventing the wheel

 

They're currently only in 'beta' they're experimenting and testing on one of their own cars, I am on the list for one and as yet Ben hasn't come back to me - I think they may be waiting on A.N.Other because I'm also waiting on parts for the stainless exhaust to land in their stockroom also.

 

I just talked to them too
It looks like the price will be around £180 or about $250 if you're on this side of the pond.

 

Got this from Ben today:
"I dont have a due date. We have the pattern and will be test fitting soon to run a production of them. We have all the parts made and bent, we just want to check the jigg is correct."

​​​​​He also said around £180.
