jamesw6810 80 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Fitted my newly polished manifold today, all hunky dory until I the realised the nipple from the fuel pressure regulator into the manifold is missing, as in sheared off.....anyone any thoughts on reattachment of the vacuum line? It's sheared near enough flat with the manifold, slight lip left but not enough to attach the hose. Was thinking some h&b weld or similar? Link to post Share on other sites

jamesw6810 80 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) So, the plan is to remove the manifold i spent time putting on yesterday, fix the nipple back on with jb weld, once that is dry ill then coat it in some hight temp rtv sealent to stop any vac leaks through the welds, ill also probably lengthen the vac pipe so it sits at a deeper angle to put less stress on the welded joint, sound like a plan?

jamesw6810 80 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 anyone any ideas on the thread of the vac nipple? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Surely you're going to need to get a replacement in whatever thread before you know what thread to tap it to Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Id be inclined to drill what's left out and then find a bigger nipple and tap it in using PTFEE tape to create a good seal. Link to post Share on other sites
GordonC 20 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 As above mate your best bet is to just get another bit of pipe slightly bigger and drill out whats left in the manifold then chap the new pipe in lightly with a hammer but it will need to be a nice snug fitVR6 Loonibuggy Santa Pod 2014 !
