The corrugated tubing included with the kits. The whole thing, uncut, with adapters. FREE
Need more for your kit? Need to redo what you have? Just need another adapter... Use it to water your garden. Build a still in your garage. Collect rainwater? Go-cart exhaust? Steampunk project? I don't care, get it out of my shop!

I'd rather get rid of it locally, but will ship it at your expense.

From which kit did this originate? What is the weight/size (want to figure out shipping to MD)?

This is from a Gen1.5 '33 spec'd with an LS.
It's pretty light. The problem is, uncut it's long and you can't really coil it up. So it requires a fairly large box in X and Y, but Z could be fairly low.
Send me a zip code. I'll look at some boxes I have and see what I can fit it in. I could put it in a carboard tube - have some long ones at work. I'll just have to see if long is more expensive than big X-Y.

We could save a ton on shipping if I could cut it in two. Do you know what lengths you would need?

I don't know what lengths right now. Let me check tonight and give my measurements to you.

Sorry, I was busy getting the kit ready to install the hardtop this evening and totally forgot to measure. I'll remember today!
I am also not choosing to use the corrugated steel pipe for my radiator hoses. I am building a Gen 2 '33 with a 5.3 LS and already completed my upper hose with a 1.25" 90 degree silicone hose, a 1.25-1.50" adapter with 1/8" NPT threaded port for my steam vent, then a 1.5" 45 degree silicone hose into the radiator. For the lower hose, I bought a 90 degree straight down thermostat housing, then a short length of straight 1.5" silicone hose, and that is as far as I have mocked it up. I plan to find a 90 degree aluminum elbow to point it to the radiator, then a section of 1.5" silicon hose to the radiator. I want to secure it to the frame with larger Adel clamps. I don't like the fact that the corrugated pipe does not have a barb to prevent the rubber hose from working its way off the pipe, and that I thought the corrugated pipe looks tacky, like some kind of universal fits-all hose (which it actually is). Can you let me know how you addressed your lower hose pipes and routing?

DON'T CUT IT YET! I measured mine at 35" and 42" - so probably both at 42" to be safe since this will control the shipping container size. Just want to figure out a shipping price for this size before we do something irreversible like cut the tubing.

I'M NOT CUTTING IT! :rolleyes:
I'll figure out the shipping at 42"
