VanCafe???

I can probably dig one up to measure.

If yours is original I'd be nervous. Both of my 87 Syncros have had them
fail fairly suddenly and massively out on the road. Last one in Baja
heading for home on a hot day. I saw a slight drip that morning and
hoped for the best to no avail. Had a new spare with me to install and
now carry a stainless version as a spare until such time as I get around
to putting it in. Probably when I get around to changing the long pipes
out for stainless. Should that ever happen......
