Ever break a BVSV nipple?

[Butt Ugly Chuck]

I bought a used replacement BVSV from CruiserParts only to break it installing a vac line . The vac lines running to the BVSV are only a couple of inches long and install puts a lot of pressure on 20 year old plastic. I've since replaced with new, but those buggars are spendy.

I decided to solve the stress on nipple problem by putting loops in the vac lines to decrease pressure during install. I think I've broken my last one (famous last words).

Been there, wish I did what you did though, I craked my replacing the radiator and did not know it for a while.

Thanks

Yep, just did it this weekend.

They are very brittle. Guess I'll be replacing them both!

How much did you pay and where did you get them?

I called CDan today, but maybe he's out for the week?

I've broken those plenty of times, the loops are a great idea- not that I worry about them now (cough, cough, Vortec, cough, cough)

I only had to replace the Violet one. $15 from CruiserParts for the used one I broke, $41.44 for a new one from SOR. If you have to replace the Pink one, it's more like $60-65 new. Don't know what C-Dan can get it to you for, but probably would save you a few bucks.

I don't remember the 2F with the Vortec Upgrade using them.

Can you post a pic?

You'll have to get pics of my old 2f from Dynosoar, he has it now...

I just broke one of my EGR VSV nipples Saturday! Just epoxied the sucker back on though.
