Bigj66 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Does anyone know if it’s possible to replace this coolant fitting that feeds the throttle housing on the Thor engine? Mine is well crusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd imagine you can pull it or thwack it out and then drill & tap to something like 1/4" BSP and just thread a barbed fitting in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigj66 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 It’s out and an 8mm hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I would've probably just cleaned it up a bit with a file, the bit that's rusted isn't essential to the hose clamping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have gone beyond the flare and possibly compromised the security of the water hose. Finding the right size barb fitting and tapping the manifold shouldn’t be too onerous.
