Hey list, Some time ago the nipple on the assembly mounted to the front of the engine compartment broke off. (the assembly with the bleed screw where the large hoses come together and a small diameter bleed hose goes back toward the back of the motor) The broken nipple was repaired with a short length of 1/4" steel tubing threaded into the plastic assembly. This is OK but I was wondering if any one had a better idea. Is the large plastic assembly still available? Is there a repair kit available some where? What I would like is a metal tube that would thread in and would have barbs or a bulge to help hold the small rubber hose in place. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, George '85 Westfalia
