HELP! My steel pipe drivers side which I am told ( you guessed it, I am not very mechanical!) goes from the radiator to the engine, linked either end by hoses, has sprung a leak for the second time and can't be welded....leak too close to the join. I have tried to get the part from bongo bits and AVA leisure but they are out of stock... and not sure when they are coming in.... van off road for two weeks now... can't get to work or play!!..... running out of favours. Does anyone know how i might get my hands on one of these....?
S.O suggested a good metalworker/welder might be able to make one if I have the original...?
Really not sure what to do... any suggestions would be very welcome!

It can be welded, all that is needed is some one that knows what they are doing, but as they are available for a reasonable price as per Mikes post a new one looks the best option...............GILL T wrote: has sprung a leak for the second time and can't be welded....leak too close to the join.
