1969-77 OMC V4s LU 'guidance' tubes - where?

[ledgefinder]

The 1969-1977 OMC V4s use a plastic tube around the 2 brass water pump pipes, to guid the pipes into the water pump on assembly. Anyone know where I can buy a few of these?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Bill

hey ledgefinder <br />i just took my lower unit off and thought i had <br />lost one of my tube guides. i found a plastic drill bit case the same size as the guides and cut it to length. then when i went to reinstall<br />the LU i fiund the other tube guide had slipped <br />up on the copper tubes. i hope this helps you<br />out. good luck!
