Alright there, Noticed today whilst I was checking a few things that a take off from my plenum has snapped off!



Just curious if this can be fixed? Looking at it it looks like its been pressed in there, as where its snapped its bent and has quite happily come away from the plenum. I was wondering if these are a pressed fitting and if there replaceable?

Many thanks
Tom

If all else fails you could drill it out tap it to a small fitting.

Or if you love a bodge, a piece of tube JB welded in will last forever.

I have an extra takeoff for my fuel regulator (as I didn't want a bleed valve in the fuel reg signal line, and I use the one you have snapped off for the actuator). I bought a threaded union from demon tweeks and drilled and tapped a hole and screwed it in.

talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
