[Re: coolant line question]

[losinit at usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

Yeah, I'm off on a mission tomorrow to acquire said pipe. And I may just stop
into Princess to see if I can get one of those nifty spring clamp tools. I
don't care what it costs, I used one once, and I just can't deal with not
having one. The pipe, on the other hand, may well end up being a "previously
loved" edition. I can't imagine there is much difference between the 1.8 and
2L versions, obviously the 1.8 fits around the 2L block just fine. There were
a few 2L 16V candidates at Mikes's last time I was there.
