Why is it simple jobs can often turn out a pain in the arse. 
Bought new condenser, not the cheaper Britpart one, the Hella labelled one. First issue not too bad, spigot location hole in bottom Right corner not in correct location compared to bolt hole, so had to slot the hole in the condenser;
OK now fits, but the ally block that the two pipes screw into is not quite parallel with the edge of the condenser body, meaning the lower pipe won't fit; it fouls another pipe and because it's not square on, the pipe screw won't screw up. There is no flexibility in pipe position as it's very short. So question is, can I cut this pipe off and replace with a longer home made one, fitted with pipe clips, to get the extra length and alignment needed? Is there much pressure in the system? Any help appreciated
