Here's the ultimate answer for the aging, rotten coolant pipes in your early water cooled Vanagon--- A custom made, exact duplicates of the factory original steel pipes---only in heavy wall (0.65) wall, corrosion proof (304-L) food grade stainless steel. The pipes are available in either one piece units for $369.00 or two piece units for ease of installation (no need to drop the gas tank) for $415.00, plus shipping. The pipes will upgrade your current old, leaking pipes , and actually will make the Van run cooler with the stainless pipes radiating the heat of the engine off of them on the way to and from the radiator. They will outlast your Van. You can check them out at; http://community.webtv.net/VanStuff/VanagonWesfalia, or drop me a line with any questions.
