So I have become aware that the coupling where the hoses attached at the
fire wall towards the back of the engine is made of unobtanium and there
for finding a new one will be basically impossible....Now there are the
very nice and blingy aluminum ones for $175 bucks, But before I bite that
bullet I wanted to know if anyone had a fix?????

The bleeder housing and bleeder screw on mine are in place, what broke was
the nipple below the screw...the one that connects to the metal pipe from
the hot coolant hoses attached to the firewall.

from bens place the part Im talking about is #9

I have JB weld and some double sided cooper barbs and wondered if anyone
has tried messing with that housing in a fashion that yeilded success and
uber win!!

Anyone? I posted this in Samba so Im sorry if some of you are seing this
twice

Thanks,
Tony
