Looks like it's been repaired before, and not very well by the look of it. While you've got it stripped down, change the jubilee clips for constant pressure clips like it would have had originally :wink:

The trouble is that it has been repaired before so it's more tricky to advise on what parts you may need. If it were me, I'd get a brand new pipe for £70 & rip out all the non-standard parts. See this thread here for more details & links to suppliers:

poss best to lift either the front or rear quite high, to give room for the twisting/threading through of the new pipe. best to take it out towards the rear.

also take care of the rubber mountings of the nearby pipes as they rip off.

good luck with it, still it could be worse----it could be the other side,-----that one requires the rad out as it will only come out towards the front once you remove everything in its way.
