Part ID required please
Hi
Whilst modifying my manifold I managed to snap off what lloks like a plastic valve of some kind on the EFI inlet manifold. Can anyone identify the correct description for this part (in the pic attached) and where I could get a replacement? It looks as if it maybe just a press/retian fit in the housing Thanks Matt

Could be the vacuum take off for the brake servo ,not needed if it is.

Yes, it's a blanking plug. Don't think it was for the servo, my car was fitted with a servo but it had one of those blanking plugs too. Think it may have been some sort of test port? You don't need it anyways.

tap it to m8
a bit of loctite or thread sealant and it shouldn,t leak air or fall out i know the purists will be along in a minute and say you need a 6.8mm hole for m8 but but if you have a tight 7mm hole i,d have a go at that after all you are just blanking a hole if you are really keen go the next size up and drill and tap m10 with a fine pitch etc but i know what i would try first cheers les g

You will probably find it is for a servo pipe, although if blanked off you may have a car with abs?, the fitting is usually a quick release coupling which you push a release collar to let the pipe come free, or the blanking plug whichever is fitted. If the collar is still in there it may grab a piece of hard plastic servo pipe from most fords which can then be blanked off.

I was going to suggest chemical metal too. It's what i used for the injector holes on my throttle bodies.
I found the putty type works alot better than the stuff in a tube.
