Status: offline 		Hi Guys
I have just brought an unused Tamjet bifurcated pipe but there's a problem with it. It got slightly damaged in transit and the thin brown sealant , which I am assuming is original, has separated from the pipe and needs replacing. Can anyone tell me what this stuff is and where I can get some in the UK?

The second one is from outside with the outer pipe removed. As I said I dont know whether the sealant was original. If not then I can take the pipe top a local specialist welder and get the broken weld repaired

It looks like someone tried to repair that pipe. The "sealant" is not original! Do you have a shot of the pipe show both inner & outer walls?

A couple of the inner spot weld have given way hence someone tried to seal it. I have a specalist welder lined up to weld it.

I would be weary to use it!

Thanks for replying. I was told by the seller that the pipe was a Tamjet one but when it arrived I wasn't happy with its condition. Sadly it will be difficult to return it to the sender as I have played with it to check for damage. I appreciate that people will make copies of your pipe and it looks like I got caught this time.
Cheers
Ian

Status: offline 		I brought it in the UK and the I am sure the seller was genuine in believing it to be a "Tamjets" pipe. Its sometimes difficult to determine the origin of parts when they have been passed around a few times. If you buy second-hand sometimes you get caught. If it had been new then my attitude would be different.

Status: offline 		Thanks for Tam and Vega for showing us what the pipe should look like. Its clear that Tam's pipes deserve their quality reputation. Its a good job I discovered that my pipe ius a copy. Just imagine the scene were the cheap pipe fails in flight and caused the plane to go in. Its just a shame I needed to buy the pipe but hey I have learnt a very valuable lesson here and in the scheme of things the loss of a hundred quid (160$) for the pipe is worth it for the knowledge I have gained and the fact that model and turbine weren't at risk. Can I say big thank you to all who have chipped in here there have been some very valuable bits of information contributed.


Cheers Guys
