those are available at the sites you mentioned.

MAMOTORWORKS gets a bad rap, their prices are higher most times, but they usually have what I'm looking for, and being on the east coast, I get stuff faster than all the Cali part houses, which is sometimes worth the slight price increase. Also never had a problem returning stuff or getting help on the phone, liked Rocky Mountain Motorworks better but what can you do?
East coasters might also try BUG CITY in CT, they have lots of good stuff, and tons of NOS and harder to find used German stuff.

| Can these pipes be replaced without lifting the body off the frame? Broke the left side while replacing the steel flex-pipe the PO forced over the end on the engine side. |

| I was recently under the car replacing a bolt that worked its way out of the heater pipe over time. It was pretty tight up there but got the job done. Not sure how taking the body off would help. Maybe I misunderstand? |

Afaik not in the original shape. The flange has to be carved so that it fits between body and torsion bar tube.
