WTD: Heater tubes for Oval
Looking for a set of oringal heater tubes that run between the engine heater boxes and the body for a '56 oval. Any 36hp ones should do the trick.
50mm internal diameter at both ends apparently.
Like these:

Thanks for the replies. Lee - I'm keen to keep it looking very original so I'll look at your suggestion if I can't get a set elsewhere 
The WW ones are cheap but once you add in postage they become horrendously expensive. I should have ordered some in any of the last three orders
I've done with WW but I just didn't think they'd be that hard to find 
Henry - have sent a PM

You usually see them at swap meets
as many people don't use heaters..
but VW owners in Melbourne probably do... lol..
