[DeTomaso] Fw: Under car water pipes

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Will,

OD is 35 mm, I don't know what the thickness of the stock tubes is is but I have both 1.5 and 1.0 mm walls in my SS tubes (parts were aquired at different times). 1.0 mm should be enough and saves a little weight compared to thicker walls.
