I'm with you Paul. My machine shop has already offered to make one from scratch. I'm going to make that call when I get closer to getting my car running.

I'd have given up by now and just had one made from scratch... or maybe machine a fitting with right size nipple that has enough meat on the threaded section that is could be spun down and threaded for M8 fitment.

Well Tom, if you haven't what chance for me ?

Lol, how sad is that.. I was right.. only 6 yrs ago

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

Newsh,

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

Thanks.

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.

I have the same problem !

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).

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?

[Nuvo]

Maybe Herr Wagner could help?

[spink]

im sure there was a similar thread on here a few years back but i cant find it

[Flat on my back]

.

Think they get pressed in...was looking for replacements as well, but no joy.

Good luck to ya.

[Acidburn]

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