         I actually was trying to save the entire
thing since the pipes are part of the fold-over
base which is fairly expensive.  But you bring
up a good point in that I believe the pipes can
be replaced by unbolting them from the base
plate.  Will take a more careful look the next
time I go up to the site (~75 miles away).

                         Thanks!
