I know I've seen this over the years but a search of the archives didn't
find it. (maybe a bad search on my part) I have a small leak in my 84 on
the passenger side in front of the engine at the T fitting that sends
coolant from the engine up to the rear heater and forward to the front
heater. There is a slight drip at this point. The manual mentions that
83-85's have a metal T fixture and should be replaced with a slightly
larger white plastic T for a better fit.

Anybody done this?

How complicated?

Anybody but the dealer got the part?

TIA.... Bob 84 westy

P.S. still looking for a good used propane tank thats somewhere else
than in Japan!.....
