so this has now happen a few times for us doing engine swaps and repairs ..
the thin copper just disintegrates over time , so with some plumbing experience , here is an easy fix .



some copper plumbing pipe is much thicker and quite easy to work with
picked up a "T' fitting 90* and some straight





and installed

done it many times on other builds , and even my trekker where no rear heater piping exists , no problems no leaks yet .. I make sure there is lots of pipe to fit in the hose though !
