| Hi there, I noticed this weekend that the pre-heat pipe on my '53 only intake manifold is starting to develop a hole :( Obviously there is zarwerks in the US, but I wondered if anyone in the UK did a similar restoration service? Thanks a lot in advance |

| why not do it yourself? ive just done mine. clear out the carbon in the tubes using some 3mm braided wire from B&Q in a drill. if you cant get past the bend in the pipe, cut a slot at the bend and then use the wire. after youve finished, just weld the hole up, and send it to the powdercoaters! simple! :thumbup: |

| I know John Henry (zarwerks) has some good pictures of the restoration process, but if you didn't want to do it yourself i can recommend him as a really good guy, very helpful and genuine :thumbup: |
