Rear crossover coolant pipe loose.

Just noticed that the rear crossover coolant pipe is all loose. Rivets all broke off i just used tie wrapped to tie the pipe so it does rub any longer on the lower bracket

I found mine rattling against the aluminum tunnel and nearly rubbed it through. I put in a couple rubber wegdes to stop the vibration. worked so far .

Sounds likle a good time to get a cooler and replace it.

Its a problem. Crappy rivets.

I swapped rivets for stainless bolts and nylocks on my crossover pipe.

I wonder what the next suprise will be ?

Caught mine at 8000 miles. Replaced with steel rivets. Also put tie wraps on lower bracket in case they ever came loose again.

Same here caught mine in time, re-riveted and it was loose again after 300 miles so I took some radiator hose and slit it and wedged it in the sides and it worked perfect for the last 1000 miles.
