Replacement Oil Pipe

[arbers666]

Howdy,

I've got a leak under the old bongo and was wondering where to get bits to replace the affected pipe. Its one of the double metal pipes (each about 8mm diameter) that joins into a rubber pipe under the engine - i think its the oil pipe for the transmission see http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... o=.html#34 under PIPE,OIL-OILPUMP (19-9A0).

Any ideas about where to get a new one?

Cheers Paul

I think you will need a scrapped Bongo to slavage from there matey or maybe it can be remade from copper, is it one of a pair that go into the rad? I'm not sure how hot it gets I've never had cause to check it, can you patch it with an adjustable clip and some gasket material? maybe

at each end of the pipe is a rubber section,remove one of these and size it up internally,go to scrap yard and get a piece of the same, dont use water pipe,make sure its powersteering pipe or similar then cut your leaking metal part out and patch with the new piece of rubber.
MAKE SURE IF YOU DO THIS THAT YOU USE THE CORRECT CLIPS,they are similar to the constant pressure clips on the coolant system but are stronger/thicker.
keep a close eye on your gearbox fluid level too.
