Bypass pipe for K10 1.0L Cooling system

[Micra 110]

I'm looking to replace the Bypass hose on the K10 1.0L as it's looking a little bit shoddy. It's the one that gets rusty, behind the rad. I did think of a couple things to do with it and that was to either get it recoated or just paint it with something. But as i'm a bit of a fuddy duddy i'd really like to keep the bay clear of Hammerite :laugh: and original as possible.

It's probably a long shot but does anyone have one in pretty good nick hanging around somewhere?

....Or

.... should i buy a new one at £40? :wow:

cheers peeps (Y)

Forget £40, go to a scrappy.

Been there and all they got is half an engine! lol!

Build one? A custom chromy one. Chrome is always good.

Nice idea....mmm...chrome...

will chrome stick to whats left of the pipe tho?

If not repair it or build a whole new one.

I don't suppose it's easy to remove? i know it's only a couple of rubber o-rings but sometimes objects with these things on make for sweat....
