I need  to replace  my coolant pipes on my 84 westy's (not the flexible  one)
Those are the rigid ones that goes from the front to the rear of the  camper.
Any other replacement alternative beside the stainless steel pipes  sold by
mr prospect? Cant they be replaced by flexible pipes? If so, what  is the
inside pipe diameter and where to get  those.

JP, et all, I have and sell flexible coolant hose  for just this purpose.
