First time posting and need help. Have owned my 1984 Westy for 11 years and am having my local mechanic do some much needed maintenance.
Looking for a particular part. It is a steel crossover pipe with three ports. One connects to the rubber hose going to the heater core and has small port for bleeder very close to that end. The other end connects to rubber hose leading to the expansion tank.
It seems this part no longer exists. Anyone have any ideas where to get one.
Photos of it are below
Thanks |

i wonder if you could build one up from a 5/8" threaded heater hose connection for the larger end and another similar connection at the other end and then something like a steel braided water heater hose connecting the 2 together. it seems like that pipe is somewhere around 18 inches long, transversing the top of the engine diagonally IIRC. you'd have to build up the braces, but with some hose clamps and some sheet metal and some pliers you could get pretty close.
