Update:

After carefull examination, replacing the crossover pipe was going to be a lot of trouble and a lot more money, so......

Ordered a universal stainless flex pipe from JC Whitney. Bought a cheap mig welder from the local Harbor Freight store. (Yes, I know it's cheap, but it works well for my needs. Besides, I needed a new toy!)

Borrowed a welding blanket from work to protect the gas tank and fuel lines.

....and went to work.

SS flex joint -$40
Cheap mig welder - $106
Knowing the job was done right and I didn't get taken to the cleaners - PRICELESS!


Thanks to all for the advice!!!!
