Looking for some help finding a plastic fitting that screws into the inlet manifold on a Thor V8.

After having to do the annoying job of replacing o/s exhaust manifold gasket again , my own fault for re-using the old gasket last time, I damaged a plastic connector whilst climbing on the engine to torque up some of the manny bolts.

I have looked on parts sites and in Rave but can’t find a part number for the fitting I broke. It is circled in the attached picture, and feeds a breather pipe to the top of the o/s rocker cover.

It’s also got a small pinhole in the centre ID so not just a case of visiting my local hardware shop!

Can anyone help me out with a part number or place to source a new one?

Thanks

Try here https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ERR6880 or measure it up and get a brass or stainless unit off Ebay.

take the fitting out and take it to a plumbers merchants, or better still pipeline center, they will match it for you,
should be no more then a £5

Thanks Guys have a second hand one on order.

It seems the internal diameter is reduced to the size of a pin hole so didn’t want to get something made up in case it was important!
