[DeTomaso] Pipe Sizing

[asajay at asajay.com]

Yes, I will be getting a vendor kit for the under car pipes, no  
argument there.  I was looking at re-plumbing some other items though  
and was interested in the availability of similar sized pipe to bend,  
bead, and use as I need in other spots.

Thank you for the lead.
