      no other models with them on, i.e. 20v/16v that you can get one off one of those manifolds?

        i doubt they would come out without destroying them if they even have them on those manifolds,cant remember seeing any on a 7a for instance.

          what about one of the aftermarket reverse inlet manifolds? wonder if the sellers can source some/sell an odd one.

                  You can drill it out then tap in a new thread if you can get to it.
                  Www.hosefit.com sell new nipples.
                  I have a spare one from a Wagner mani here I could send you?

                    I have the same problem !

                    Hosefit supplies industrial hose, large bore hose and couplings from 1" bore and above, with technical support, MHEA membership and ISO 9001 backing from Roladex Industrial Ltd.


                    Something like this may work. I have the same problem with a broken nipple on an ABY inlet manifold. I am using one on loan from Macanmar (thanks again).

                      Decent of him, to loan you one of his nipples

                      I remember the thread, I think it was Saltinot looking for the DV take off nipple at the front of the RS2 IM.

                          Newsh,

                          Yeah, I remember the thread now after seeing Tom's photo in post # 26, and then later my own post.

                          Thanks.

                            Sad indeed. To date I haven't found a solution or replacement.
