I need to clock the steel tube to clear the trunk.
I'm guessing it's pressed into heated aluminum, maybe with a lube that turns into a glue? Anyone know for sure? @Superhawk996 maybe? I have a 1500F heat gun to work with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1677898518.1.jpg) |

You could just cut the steel pipe before it bends and put a rubber hose with a 90* bend on it. No barb on the pipe though.
