Thank you for the assistance guys. I will use the pix to assist in finding a heat stove
The heat pipe arrived today. It is exactly as pictured by wagoonman, only it appears to have never been used, painted, or blasted. It is a bare steel part .
Were the heat pipes always painted black at the factory?
Just wondering why it would appear this way and what is correct. I planned on painting to match the air cleaner.
Thanks again... getting closer.
