Default 12a Steel Oil Pipe Fix

Hi, new here. Today I was inspecting an oil leak and found that the long oil line from the front to the oil cooler had rusted through in a few spots, and when I tried to remove it, it twisted badly. The cheapest replacement I can find is at Atkinsrotary for $125!!! Is there any cheaper way to fix this? It just seems like a lot for such a simple part.

Never mind. I opened the 12a today and the housings are quite toast. I guess the easiest fix for my problems is a 13b. Anyone have a n/a 13b or even a low mieage 12a they'd sell?

I'm new to this site. I can't seem to get a conversation started with anybody. I'm fixing to buy 2 '85 RX-7s 13b's. I know very little about these cars. My son and I are going to fix one up together. I would love to chat with you. The silver car has no titel. We were planning on making the Red car the "ONE". I'll sale the whole car engine and all once I survae the parts and such needed for the Red car. thanks.....well crap! you have any idea how to upload a picture on here? what the hell is a URL for a picture?
