After positioning the replacement lower stainless coolant pipe, there is interference with the vacuum pipe because of the stainless aftermarket washers being in the wrong position. Because of where the stand-off washers are welded, the pipe interferes where the vacuum pipe crosses it. Has anyone else encountered this, and what was your resolution? It's clear the current configuration will not work.
The difference (original vs. stainless) can be seen in the photo of the original compared to the aftermarket SS pipe.
