One of my least thought about repair jobs. Saw the problem, grabbed a few bits and tools and into it. Cold chisel to belt out on the flange....

drilled 8.5 mm hole, think it was the 28 you bspt tap and screwed in the 45° elbow.

 

Just needs a short barb to finish the job off....and just hope it clears the inlet manifolds underbelly

Did the same thing a few yrs ago - clears SPFI intake manifold just fine with hose barb.

Neat fix there Jono.

I saw Gannon's repair using 1/16" size stainless. I got the impression he had to reach deep into his pockets for the bits and taper tap. I thought if I stuffed up a reducer bush in the block may have been a ticket out of it. Good to hear others doing this. Used to be a fear of these problems in old Subes
