Making Alloy water rail for Zetec

Anyone know what wall thickness alloy tube can be used for making a water rail to reduce the hose required?

I have a focus 2.0 Engine...

thanks

The raceline rail is heavy cast .

If it was flexibaly atached to the stat housing I would make one out of 16swg tube same as my tubes from the rail to the rad.

procomp has a very nice setup, better than the water rail.
