hanks for the info Keith.  I have pipe sitting around, so I may try to

  With water in it the temp will never get hot enough to melt solder. I've
seen copper ones before and they seem to have worked fine.

    I cleaned mine off the other day, and it was in OK shape.  But I was
thinking
    of just making one out of copper pipe and bending it at one end with a

close to
    the same shape as an original.

    My question is, how hot does it get above the exhaust manifold where this
    would be?  This idea would only work if it didn't get too hot to melt the
    solder.
