if it's just a pipe, one could do it easily for under $10


Most discount auto stores sell pre-cut and flared pipe, just bend and tighten down. Be sure to buy BUBBLE flare pipe, with the right threaded ends. When taking off the (rusted, stuck) pipe/fitting, be sure not to use excessive force, and use LOTS of PB blaster (or a blowtorch) but DO NOT use a blowtourch on the new pipe.


be absolutly careful with the rear control block (the brass peice) I stripped mine out doing exactly what your doing - I'm just glad I have a CNC machinist friend, as this part can only (to my knowledge) be found at a dealer.
