Heater Pipes

[phillo63]

bottom heater pipe on my t BA 2002 blew 2 days ago no drama went to ford got new one for 24 bucks. Drama when installing pipe broke t pipe connector that attaches to one end other end goes to fire wall bottom pipe. Ok went back to ford was told cannot by this small piece of plastic pipe seperate, have to buy unit consisting of the whole bundle of pipes 195 bucks pissed of to the max. Have ordered and will buy as my mechanic reckons will be hard to source from wrecker. Did not have time to worry about looking around as t is only source of transport, however if any one has had similar prob it would be handy to let all know any ways around this ridiciolus state of affairs.
