Nice price.
Didn't realise the prices were that dear today.Last set i bought for a Lotus Carlton didn't cost that much.IIRC they cost about £300 the pair but that was a few years back.I think i may make my own again if the welder still works. Something to do in the winter months

yes. the best is to have the pipes all the same length.the last set i made took about a month to get right,bending,cutting etc.if you have a wielder,pipe bender and you take your time it's quite easy.I make a jig up first using flex pipe to get the routing. Tubes on order now.Should cost in total of around £100
