Pitot Tube

[murphy]

Does anyone know where I can get a new pitot tube mine has rusted off the jury strut. Dirtdubbers and living five miles from the Gulf of Mexico have done mine in it broke off just above the weld. If nobody has a source of prebent tubes how about the tubing, where can it be purchased?
Thanks, Mike

Re: Pitot Tube

Just get a cheap 1/4" tubing bender from any brand X store and buy 1' of .028-.035 wall steel tube from any source. Bend it 90 degrees and have anyone braze it on your jury strut leaving a small gap for the hose to connect to. Brazing is more that sufficient to hold it on. You can weld it on but it is overkill. Tim
