Europa Radiator tubes / Ebay ad

I saw these a year or so ago on his web site - then lost the link. Now on Ebay.
Thought someone may be interested... (No affiliation)

That looks like a pretty good deal considering that they include the heater tubes and the swirl tank. r.d. also sells transfer tubes for S2s and TCs in stainless steel. They don't list a price except to say that the S2 versions are expensive to ship due to their length while the TC version is less. Richard also sells transfer tubes for S2 and TC for £158.70 plus shipping.

I just thought if people were interested, knowing more options was better.

I just received the ss pipes from r&D. Because of the length shipping was 250.00. I could have had the cut as offered by rd however by the time I found a welder who is proficient at the welding stainless would have eaten up that cost. 
  I also found some 11/4 aluminum tubing  .060 300.00 . They said they would bend it up for additional $ . 30$ per bend.
 The eBay is not stainless. My original Tubes were marginal and I could have put them in and welded extensions in myself. However the stainless are the best long term fix. Btw I still need Weld up the swirl pot and leaving the original heater tubes in.
