Butchered replacement MOVEs diary

On the Facebook livetodai site, it was twice asked as to where original plastic T-fittings are available for connecting the heater hoses to the throttle body’s anti-icing circuit. I replaced one of which I broke while draining as much old coolant as possible. Being one who reluctantly discards things, I was lucky to have copper piping measuring 8 and 15 mm available.

So a lot of us who have a ED20 engine have the same problem.

T piece for ED20 coolant line going to throttle body is going brittle and creates a leak for the coolant.

The part size is

16mm 8mm 16mm

A discontinued part from Daihatsu

It is for sale on Aliexpress.

This is a brass part should last much longer than the oem plastic part.

In fact, it should last indefinitely. It’s easy enough to solder together one’s own T-fitting, using 15 mm and 8 mm pipes, if one chooses to spend no oney and has this tubing already available: Butchered replacement MOVEs diary - Projects builds and rides - Live To Dai
