Pinto coolant pipes
Having recently acquired a new car running a Pinto one of the first things I need to do is to replace all of the coolant pipes. Does anyone have a
diagram showing pipe ID's so I can order new shiny bits without having to dismantle what's there first ?
Thanks,
Ian

Need to check but top of head
Thermostat to radiator top hose is 32mm to 32mm
Bottom hose is 38mm out of pump and 32mm at the radiator

I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)

That's as I recall it from my Pinto MK Indy build using a VW Polo radiator.
IIRC the part I struggled with was a fairly tight bend on the lower radiator pipe. A local motor factor let me rummage through their stock to find
what I was after in the end.
