You need to have one fabricated where you can see what room you have when everything is installed. Looks great till you start putting everthing back.
Truer words were never spoken ...
Ask me how I know ....
After I did both of them ... Plated them and then tried to install them ..
I didn't realize that the pipe that goes to the expansion tank was too low and was hitting the J boot that attaches to my MAF
I had to re-heat them and bend them to get them to fit.
Then of course re-plate them

I'm looking on McMaster Carr for 12mm pipe. No love. Can't find 12mm OD pipe with any search.

Can anyone point me to a supplier?

OK - better results if I search on "tube" and not "pipe".

I see McMaster-Carr has 15/32 OD brass tube and carbon grade 12 mm steel tubing.

Is the 12mm carbon steel tube the right stuff?

OK. That's the same product I'm looking at. I may have found a local supplier for something similar.

Make sure it's 12mm and not a 1/2 inch
1/2 inch is too big and you will have to cut off too much of the fitting off to get the pipe in
