MGF water pipes

Anyone used them? they are steel with a 32mm dia and about 160cm long.

I'm thinking that they might be a neat 'factory' style solution to getting coolant from my ej20 to the radiator in the front of my ghia.

could be a nice cheap way of getting long coolant hoses, how long are they?

160cm long, welded tabs keep them together and provide a fixing point, have bulges on the ends to stop the pipes blowing off.

good spot! are the walls pretty thick? only reason I ask is they are the perfect length and diameter for my set up but i'd need to bend them to shape in a few places. my mates dad own's a plumbing business so got access to the right tools.
