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

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.

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.

For 20 bucks?

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!
