I posted about a week ago that I had discovered a major rust out on one of
the coolant pipes on my 84 Vanagon.  For your information, I cut about four
inches off the damaged pipe, exposing good clean metal.  I then used a
galvanized pipe nipple and some straight 1 1/4" radiator hose.  I double
clamped the sawed off pipe and applied permatex anti-seize.  I pushed the
nipple back into the engine compartment so I could partially collapse the
radiator hose and get it to fit through the hole in the engine room shroud.
I will let you know if I have any more troubles with this fix.
