The fit the OHC manifold and water bypass and are made of marine quality brass.
No more rotten steel barbs which turn to powder when you pull the hose off!

Due in mid-May, £4 each plus P&P

I bought a pair here in the UK last month - more expensive than that :cry:

Good to see another part sourced. Well done Steve.

Could not find any in UK at sensible prices, cheaper to import from across the pond!
What happened to all the UK industry we used to have :(

Those are the same as the ones I bought here but mine were about 25% more expensive! They work perfectly, but don't forget to remove all the old rust and corrosion from the threads in the manifold and use PTFE tape to help the threads seal.
