Subject:Syncro coolant dist. Tower, was Re: WBX Plastic Coolant Pipe Inspection

This discussion making me nervous, I still have stock plastic distribution tower in my syncro. I'd like to make an aluminum replacement but I don't have a syncro tower in hand to copy. Any chance anyone has measurements or can take measurements so that I could make one?

I could buy one... I suppose.

Thanks

Alistair
