I just noticed (just this minute, in fact) that one of our online
vendors lists the following for '86 - 91 non-syncro vanagons:

251-121-082, feed pipe from radiator, $34.95
251-121-083H, return pipe from radiator, $34.95

However, there are no pictures available to confirm if these are, in
fact, the long coolant pipes that run between the engine and radiator,
as mentioned in my previous post.

Does anyone know if these are them? If so, I should probably just get
them, as they're not that expensive and would be an exact replacement.

Can anyone (including the vendor) comment? This could be the answer to
my problem. (p-mail, please)

TIA,

Dan
