right, ive got the sump on the rover v8 for the pickup shortened and reshaped to keep the capacity, but I'm having a problem with my oil pickup pipe.
cos the pickup screen now sits quite tight up to the baffle plate, I need a sharp 90deg. bend in the pickup pipe. I have no way of reforming the stock pipe cos I havent got any oxy bottles anymore. I need to source a peice of 12mm or 1/2" inner diameter steel tube with a preformed 90degree bend, the tighter the radius the better.
I found this air con pipe in my stash(pic below) that would be perfect- except its ally
the pipe at the top is the old pipe ive cut out, the bottom is the air-con hose, with a bit the right profile I could cut out, but the wrong material.
does anyone have anything I could use, or a suggestion as to where I might find something ot do the job?
