Looking for a mint set of left and right cooling tubes for an 87 gt. Mine is developing a small drip under pressure, under the clamp. I've considered all my options, it's either find a great set, or fabricate a new set. I'm going to pull them out no matter what, every bolt is new, and everything is powder coated underneath, so I can drop the front crossmember out in no time. Let me know what you have. Shipping to 41071.

Can't help you with the tubes but I'm curious,...do you really have to drop the front X-member to get the tubes off, even if you have a lift?

I have a pass side tube available, not the driver side. It's solid, but would need to be cleaned up for your application is sounds. Just an option if you are having issues tracking both down.

No, you don't have to drop the front crossmember. You just have to get the back end high enough in the air that you can turn the tube to get the bends around the front crossmember. A lift would make it way easier...

That said, it the front has been removed previously and you aren't going to brake a bolt, that is pretty easy too. In my case I snapped to front cradle bolts and had to drill/tap them... and that sucked.
