My solution is to grab one of the about 20 very non-rusted spare ones I
own.

There have got to be hundreds of these laying around on left over wbxr
engines from subaru-vanagon engine conversions, etc.
Amazing how tough and long-lasting that plastic is !
Be great if ALL plastic parts in vanagons were made of the same stuff.

What are people doing to solve this problem?  Installing a bunch of plumbing tees?  Fabricating replacements from metal?  Is there an aftermarket part available?  I am going to see if I can put 3/8" pipe threads into the tube and install a 3/8" pipe plug.  Has this been tried?
