hi john!
Well, my idea may not be what you are looking for, but you can
make 'new' tubes and weld to the original pipe. basically what i did
was bought a bunch of brake lines with the correct threads and
bent each one exactly the same degree (using a tube bender) and
then had the ends welded to the original tube (after cutting all the old,
rusty ones off.) saves a lot of money - if the tubes are even available.
seems like the best option.
besides, once you paint the manifold and tubes (black?) you can't tell a
patch
job was done.
hope this helps!

p.s. i finally figured out what my electronic issue was with the warning
lights.
if you remember our conversations...well, the wiring was hooked up wrong at
the starter!
it was ALWAYS on - as the relay lead was wired with the battery lead at the
starter!
i only looked there because i noticed my relay was hot to the touch!
