Hi everyone,
Hope you're all well and your cars are running fine.
So, having inherited my yellow 1300 CL from my old aunt 8 years ago, I've had the first problem with it today!  Not bad going, would you agree?  (I was wondering when something would go wrong with this 37 year old car....)

The steel pipe that carries coolant from the water pump at the front of the engine to heater matrix pipes near the bulkhead sprang some leaks. This is a pipe about 18 inches long which runs right along the right side of the block (under the manifold).  The pipe has corroded from the inside out and is now paper thin.  When I touched the tiny initial hole, the rest of it started crumbling away like paper....

Would anyone know where I could get such a pipe?  

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Peter

Allison's has them in stainless if you want to spend a bit more.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Not had much luck finding one in the UK from the Fiat specialists here.

Does anyone know if the 1300 model was sold in Ireland?  Or Germany? Seem to be quite a few 131 1600s there but not sure about the 1300?  Are there any specialists in Ireland that I could approach?

Cheers

The correct pipe is the one in the photo and it is specific for 1300
