Hey I've tried searching for the post about changing the plastic for the heater inlet with brass fittings. Any help?

YD25 sell a kit for this: YD25 D40 R51 HEATER OIL COOLER HOSES

There's a video link describing how to DIY.

The thread on this forum is here:

Found by searching for "heater brass" (because I knew those words were used in the thread).

The link to yd25 is valuable, Paul (from yd25) really knows his stuff. As does Scott, above.

If you are talking about a break where the bleeder outlet is, I used the workaround detailed here and it worked fine. One slight difference though is I installed a brass elbow I bought from (I think) Tradelink rather than have a long length of hose looping around and prone to a kink. Much tidier too.

I did this a couple of years ago and have had no trouble since.

Sans bleeder you just need to be careful filling/topping up coolant to make sure there is no air trapped in system. I typically park it on an incline or some ramps so the radiator is the highest point then fill slowly.

Some pictures are attached.
