Default Ford Radiator Pipe

Hi Boys
Will any of you have a tube nearby to take measurements?
A: Length
B: Diameter

In another post they commented that the curve is about 57 degrees

Thanks in advance

Default Ford CMP- Radiator pipe size

Hi Mariano,

See attached. Taken off original pipe. Measurements taken on area where the tube is not wasted.

Dimensions are taken at centre line as best as I can judge. OD of tube is 1-3/4"

I used my adjustable angle then transferred it to paper and got 55 degrees using a protractor.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hi Mariano,

Always glad to help.

Would be a good idea to add an inch either end and then trim to suit. In fact, you may need a few extra inches on the cylinder head end for the bending machine to have something to work with.

It is a lot easier to cut off a bit than try to stretch a tube!

Cheers,

Hi Jacques
I found a pair of pipes. Have same diameter.... seems to be from another Ford truck....
I think cut the large 90° large curve and weld the straight section
This cutting and welding job can be a solution
