Re: 1941 Lower Metal Radiator Pipe

Someone else mentioned using SS exhaust tubing. Not sure if SS is needed and regular aluminized would be a lot cheaper. The senior engine tube is a 90 degree bend with a slight offset at the radiator end. If tubes on juniors are used and a real one doesn't appear perhaps you could get something like a stock 90 degree elbow and use that for most of the visible part. Here is one from Amazon but other parts stores should carry something too.
In a stock piece, one side might need to cut but the other end would be a bit short. If there is the same slight offset as senior tubes then the longer length of straight hose needed on that end going to the radiator should take care of the missing offset. The way the 41 hood opens the extra length of straight hose should be mostly out of sight.
If you did want the metal tube, using a stock exhaust piece would be a lot less expensive than getting 50 made or maybe even one custom made at an exhaust shop.
