I need to replace one of the original vent and drain pipes on the `00M. These
are different from the stock 100-4 vents, as they turn up, not down, and are
bent over to the cold air box. Does anyone have a source for these? The Moss
catalogue is confusing. They show the stock 100-4 type of annular vent piece,
with the pipe pointing down, but attribute it as a "100M" fitting (part
451-250). I started to make them, but it is tricky brazing in a steel tube
onto the brass without deforming the brass. I was using steel brake line
stock, which was the right diameter, but that does not bend as sharply as the
original, even with significant heat, without cracking apart.
