Default pipes

yes, a significant weakness on these cars were the steel pipes, just painted grey. The 900 series used copper which lasts. Every MOT I check them and clean off any rust and repaint if necessary..the weak points are the lengths of pipe exposed in the front wheel arch and the rear wheel area. Cool idea to replace the pipe around the tank rather than remove it...
