Was it on these pages that I saw some mention of some bendable material
about the size of coolant lines that can be used for planning plumbing
layout?  If so; what is it?

Thanks,

Al,

  If its radiator size hose you want to mock up (1.25" - 1.5") then I used
"heat riser tubing" (not sure thats an appropriate name but go to the auto
parts store and tell them you want that corrugated tubing that goes from
your exhaust manifold to the snorkel on your air cleaner housing - they
will know what your talking about). This stuff is easily shaped and holds
shape . Its great for mocking up radiator hoses and exhaust pipe and its
cheap. In fact my auto parts guy just let me have it as long as I promised
to return it undamaged when I was done.
