Re: Heat exchanger advice/parts

 If you live near an airport where alot of general aviation planes planes (
single/twin engine prop; " air cooled " ) that
fly in and out of, check to see if the airport has a FBO ( fixed base
operator/ check the phone book ).
If they have one check with the parts department for " Scat Tubing ".
This is a red high temp hose ( flexable & comes in many different
diameters).  It is used on aircraft to route air.
Unfortunately because its an aircraft part
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!
But you will only need about a foot.  Oh, it comes with or without a
reinforceing spiral wrap wire... Get it without...It makes it easier to
work with on a short section.
Hope this helps.
Remember everyone, general aviation is the largest users of air-cooled
engines. Lots of good stuff for those hard to find or no longer made
parts...
