      I recently picked up a 1921 Elto Rudder Twin.  Does anyone know where I can find the copper water exhaust tubing?  One side is fine, but the other side is missing about 4 inches from where it comes out of the head.

      Thanks

        Nice acquisition. The early RTs are great motors.  Which water lines are you referring to?

        If you could post some pictures that would be helpful

          Try Doug Penn for parts.

            Not that long ago you could go to any hardware
            store and they could cut you off a piece of
            what ever size you needed from the rolls in
            the back. Still might worth a try if you still
            have an old family hardware store nearby.
            I have been buying what I need an Home Depot.
            They have a few sizes in pre cut length. You
            may have to by 10′ for just 4″. You might check
            some of the other home centers to see what
            they might have .And then there is the internet.

                        The piece that is missing has broken off
                        likely from vibration. It was originally one
                        piece like your other (good) side. You can
                        search for a replacement but as this was a
                        common problem it may take some time to
                        find one. Another option would be to get
                        some tubing and make the part that it missing.
                        You could make the joint behind the exhaust
                        manifold where it wouldn’t be so obvious.
