Peter gave me his tips, but I'm still struggling with these tubes.
How do you get them loose, and can you slide them back through the console with the bend on the end of the pipe?
What I'm really worried about is getting new pipes to go up there, with the bend on the end of them.
I have not been able to see exactly where the bracket and spot welds are to restrain the tubes.
Thanks -
Rocky

Thanks, Steve...

What a b****h. Had to cut the pipes in the center. Had to pull up the console, and front guage valence. Had to pull out the shifter assembly.
I got the front bracket loose.
Still have to knock that rear bracket loose.

Your post was helpful. It's tough to get to the back one.
What a job to get these out!
Why did I ever decide to do this project?
Thanks again, though.

Rocky,
If you can layout the pieces and measure the tubes and angles and post to the other thread that would be very appreciated. We are looking to make exact stainless replicas.

Will do, Steve. Hope to get it posted up pretty soon.
Given my experience, you may want to consider some sort of metal "slip joint" with a hose over it.
I personally am concerned that the stock pipes can be fed through all the way to the front from the rear.... especially with the bends in them...
We shall see!
