Hello guys
Can anyone tell me what and possible where i can source the press fit hose fittings that exit the engine block a various points to connect the coolant hoses to?
I've searched for press fit spigots, end stops, hose connectors, but so far have not found a result, i would of thought those companies that sell the core plugs would do then but I've not found one yet.
Not desperate yet, but noticed a bit of corrosion on the over starter motor one, so would like to have one ready for next time i flush the system out.
cheers

Re: engine block hose fittings
I had doubts about mine when doing the rebuild of the lump, hence the image, but after cleaning down and checking the outside and the inside with a USB endoscope was happy that all was OK.
Checked with Ford as the WL T is common with the Ranger and they are not shown as a seperate listing
Dunno about Lush Projects.
OD of spigot is 16mm ID is 15mm so 16mm tube would sort it alternatively I wondered if after cleaning the inside of the spigot whether a length of 15mm tube, copper? could be frozen down, plumbers pipe freezer? and the spigot warmed, hot air gun? and shoved up it!
Possibly buttering up the outside of insert and inside of spigot with a liberal dose of Wellseal?
Hopefully it will turn out to be just be a weepy hose fit.
Good Luck.
