Hi everyone...

[mickc22]

I'm repairing a K10 for my daughter, it was my sons but, after breaking the pipe off the heating matrix, he promptly lost interest

so far I've got all the dash off and the matrix out, ready to be replaced. Be handy if you could just get the pipe that unscrews from the main body, as that's the one that he broke.

I usually use "Find-a-part", but if you guys can recomend anywhere else to get parts from that'd be great

already got some useful info from another thread, so I now have confirmation the head gasket needs replacing too

well that's for starters, may put an induction kit on it too, don't want to go too mad tho as it will basically be her first car

any and all advice greatly recieved

Hi Frank
good idea, I've edited my profile doh!
should have done that straight off

would be handy if someone close had one.
In fact I only need the pipe that is bolted/screwed to the back, so if the rest was damaged it wouldn't matter
:grinning:
