I found on miataturbo a formed coolant pipe that is an almost perfect fit for the MX5 coolant reroute.
Part number is: dayco e71989

It was a bit difficult to locate in Australia being out of a GMC truck but Eagle Spares in springwood stocks them.

MX5 Plus in Brisbane also do an aluminium re-route pipe (hotside) which I used - with a couple of sections of flex hose it works just fine.

Re: Coolant reroute hose (formed pipe)
Uncle Arthur I'm using the MX5plus spacer which outputs my coolant on the coldside? The rubber pipe has all the right bends around the intake - works well. I was previously using various bits of pipe and a piece of flex to do the bend. I was plagued with little leaks so one pipe all the way really sorts me out.

Re: Coolant reroute hose (formed pipe)
I didn't recall the OP stating a price.....
However - no - not $20 but then again if you are really balking at spending $ on your modded 5, you could always buy your own length of ally pipe at the right size and make your own.

The pipe I bought wasn't $20 either. If you can find them cheaply in Australia let me know!
