Straight coolant pipe in Brisbane

Postby jerrah » Thu Aug 26, 2010 10:03 pm

I plan to do a coolant reroute to my MX5 soon but I'm not sure where to buy a straight section of coolant pipe.

I tried Repco but apparently they don't stock anything with a greater ID than heater hose except for in pre-formed bends for specific purposes.

Can anyone suggest where I might pick up a straight length of (I think it's 1 1/4") coolant pipe so I can run from the rear thermostat housing to the radiator?

After much searching I've found a place in Rocklea that seems to sell a wide variety of pipes:

Purple Pig.
1898 Ipswich Rd Rocklea

Only open Monday- Friday so going to give them a try this afternoon.

If it doesn't work out:

Tony Powell Hose.
776 Beaudesert Rd Salisbury is open Saturday morning.

Both shops seem to stock Gates flexible straight coolant hose.
