[QUOTE="Bay_Buster, post: 627090, member: 19284"] The 'long pipe' is 68mm plastic drainpipe - from memory 1mm smaller diameter than the original steel tube? So pretty damn close. I've not finished the front end fixtures yet (where the pipework gets funky to go up and over the front axel), more plastic wizardry is due there. So back to the question - to fit the long pipe in I slid it in from the front end. With it cut just a little too long to fit everything you should be able to slot the rear end through the crossmember, and with the Y piece removed slide it far enough back for it to clear the front crossmember, and allow you to then slide it 'forwards' through that one. Hope that makes sense. For a retrofit application where this isn't possible you could cut the pipe in half and just use a plastic straight connector joint in the middle - might need modifying to make a 'slip' fitting, might not.
