hi les is rare spares going to do the hk heater tap as these things are impossible to find??? they would sell good imho as nearly every one has there heater dummied up to look like they work!!!
Is that the one in the engine bay, under the heater box?? I was asked about doing those as well.. Trying to get a good sample is proving the problem..
cheers

no probs
I was thinking of the little rubber teat (for want of a better word) on the bottom of the heater box.

i,ve got a few good ones,

Hi 73BATHXU1HTBATH350 do they leak down the centre shaft though?? as they may look good but connect hose end to some air and put in water they usualy leak and you will see bubbles through the centre shaft i have tried so many that look good only to find this so unless you have had the heater tap connected and working there is a 98% chance it will leak down the centre shaft i have my heater tap on my hk monaro dummied up to look like it works but our trip to warwick qld this year for the monaro nationals i thought i would get it working properly for the kids well what a headache its turning out to be
