Wtb: 280Zx L28 Water Outlet That Bolts To Timing Cover And Goes To Lower Radiator Hose

[Captain Slow]

Hello.

 

I'm working on a friends 280zx and I've stupidly gone and broken the water outlet that bolts to the timing cover. I was trying to remove the threaded part that connects to the heater hose as it is all corroded. I may be able to have a workshop do a tig repair but thought I'd try my luck here first finding a replacement.

 

Thanks

Ben

Done the same thing, easy to do. Those old bolts are not worth re-using. I had to drill mine out years ago and re-tap the thread.

Got your message.

Post up a pic of the outlet, including the broken bit.

There were a few different ones on later cars.

Lets give this a try.

I have one that is very similar in excellent condition , $25 posted to you . I can upload some photos if you are still looking for one

[dat2kman]

Grab that. The ones i have are the earlier type, with the push on style heater hose fitting

Thanks guys I greatly appreciate your help.

 

Craig if you could please post some photos here or email me at 300zedx@gmail.com that would be great.

Thanks for that mate.

 

I'll have to double check but I'm not sure if that one will work as I think it will point right at the back of the power steering bracket.

 

I'll check it out tomorrow and get back to you.

Hey fellas,

 

Thanks again for your efforts I appreciate it.

 

Due to the location of the power steering bracket the outlet had to kick back quite sharply so unfortunately Craig your one wasn't going to work, but thank you for trying to help.

 

I managed to find a local workshop yesterday that has repaired the original one, hopefully it holds up.

 

Thanks again

Thanks I'll keep it in mind

The repaired one is back on but im not convinced it will seal up as the material became pretty porous when welded. Waiting on a new radiator which should be here tomorrow so I'll know over the weekend what's happening.
