Default 1987 Vanden Plas Radiator Bleed Pipe (CAC4253)

During my water pump replacement project, I noticed that the thin metal pipe that runs along the top of the radiator, CAC 4253, had rusted and broken off in one of the hoses. Does anyone know where I could find a US based replacement? The only source I can find is a UK eBay listing, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Thanks for the help.

Mine was also rusted so I made a replacement from copper pipe. Just needed to make slight flares each end and bend to suit.

Hey that's a good idea. Those bends might be tough to replicate but I might be able to rig something up.
