replacement metal coolant pipes

some of you will be aware i have an overheating issue.
there is no leaks evident due to checking with the dye detector. it looks like the rad is blocked up as ive got hot and cold spots on the surface. ive ordered a new rad, silicone cooling pipes for all 14 and a new stat.
however after close inspection it looks like the metal line than runs down the drivers side is looking dodgy. i would therefore like to replace both sides to be sure.
where do you get these from. ive looked on lushprojects so i could take a part number to mazda garage or is there anywhere else available to buy them from.
cheers

I know Bell Hill Garage have replaced a few of these....Could be worth giving them a ring.....I suggested gettiong a batch of SS/or/mild steel ones made up months ago but there didn't seem to be much response.

btw the dye detector works perfect, spilt some when bleeding, all the interior glows now under uv light.

AVA do them for about £50 a pop http://www.mazdabongo.com/display.products.php?cId=91 , plus I've seen em on ebay for about the same Mike.
Thats assuming it's the big pipes, if it's the smaller diameter ones, Bongobits list them - http://www.bongobits.com/Main.asp?PageN ... Query=pipe
