Hello all, I’m in abit of a predicament as my coolant leak fixes are beginning to look like ass, and when trying to find this replacement part to hopefully fix my hose management, it seems long gone. I have tried places like amayama and souqparts. Anyone have any ideas on where to source this?

appreciate any input :)

Let's just consider this more fully then, shall we?

Not available anywhere? Check.

What is it made from? It's made from a threaded fitting and a couple of pieces of pipe.

Could it be made in 2 hours by someone with a welder and some raw materials? Maybe a lathe if you want to make the threaded part from scratch? Yep. You bet your girlie arse it could.

Would I make it from scratch if I needed it? Yep. Bet your girlie arse again.

Would I even go to the lengths of getting it cad plated? Probably. At least zinc passivated. It's not hard to do it yourself, but you could always sneak it into a basket at a plater's for a couple of beers.

 

Useless advice? No f**king way. You are just typical of the weenie approach to everything that the modern generations have adopted. If it can't be 3D printed or bought from an on-line vendor, it is IMPOSSIBLE!

Your attitude is the attitude that sucks. Go file your nails and have a facial.

Yah ! Id remake it ! And remake it in brass so you don't ever have to do it again.

Can you get it off the block ?

If so then take it down to a fitting place and grab a hose barb with the same block thread and main tube size.

Also grab a smaller hose barb to do the right angle one coming out of the main one.

Cut off the threaded end off the smaller hose barb

Drill a hole to the main hose barb the in the same position as the original small one and then press in the small piece and solder it into place.

Did similar to my R33 to replace rusted out, nickel plated, steel fittings over the years.

Hey man do you remember the thread it was? I read somewhere it was a 3/4 bsp but it won’t thread it so now unsure

Nope that was quite some time ago and all I did was take it out of the block and took it to them and said "want this in brass please" !

Of coarse they said " don't have it with the sticky out the side thingy " and then went through the above to make it happen.

I think you will have the same scenario and anyway, one way or another, the original has got to come out of the block.

Also I don't really think its 3/4 BSP as that's imperial !

Probably got to be metric coming out of Japan !

Maybe ! Should be ! 

Could be wrong though !

Nope. Jap threads are BSP by another name. JIS PT = BSPT (where the T means Tapered, not thread, as is commonly mistaken).

Note that I don't know if the target thread here is BSP/JIS or something else either. But.... if you've got the original in hand, then you have all that you need to know. Just measure the thread.

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
