Re: sandblasting coolant pipes

Another alternative is 1.25" stainless steel tubing mandrel bent at a
muffler shop. Otterstat bung and coolant expansion tee would have to
be welded on. Instead of hose barbs would probably end up with flared
or expanded ends -- equally effective seal. Advantage would be ability
to replace multiple factory sections with contiguous pipe, especially
eliminating junction under closing plate.

it would be nice to clean and sandblast parts as we need to make
repairs...
