Source for 3.5" Copper pipe?

Postby gcoppola » Mon Mar 05, 2012 9:10 am

Hi

I don't know if this is the right place to post this query, but is anyone aware of a source for 3.5" copper pipe? (2 pieces, roughly 5' long with an approximate 55Degree bend at one end, I can make an exact layout if needed)

For a 1954 CC Commander 36' (Mystere). My only other option it seems would be to make short straight stubs from the original pipe and a flex hose to the mufflers, but would prefer to use full copper as original.

Thanks,
George

Those 3.5 diameters are tougher to find. Someone on here will have your answer.
At today's copper price, those pipes would be worth more than some BOATS!!!!

Good luck,

Make them out of stainless steel and have them copper plated.
