Hi everyone not the best way to introducemyself but here goes

My name is James live in Melbourne an own a 01 b4 in the standard silver. Will introduce myself a bit better when times on my side

Long story short installing a hyperflow top mount on my B4 and when disconnecting the vacuum lines broke off one of nibs to which the vacuum lines connect to which then go into the black box.

I was wondering if anyone in melboune had a b4 half cut or dead b4 that isn't using it's black box that I could pinch this part off maby today if lucky?
The part will take 6-8 weeks from japan which doesn't reAly help for my tune on Tuesday.

If anyone has any help or advice that would be fantastic

Thanks James

Welcome to SC James.

Can you open up the black box and just repair the one fitting?

If so perhaps you could drill out the remaining piece and using some epoxy resin, glue in a small length of old brake piping.

Thow up a hello and some pics in the intro section soon!

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Just open the box and re-route the line to an unused nipple. There is about six that aren't being used.

Thanks for the quick replies we managed to drill out the existing broken nipple and then insert our own into that joiner and it seems to be ok but thanks for the help
