    I think you can still get the taps through "gates" Not sure how they compare to rares repro but I would think the gates ones would be made somewhere other than china. Not sure. I can talk to gates if anyone likes as I deal with them at work. I might give em a call anyway.

    The vacuum heater taps are not real flash that I have had on my ute. Two new ones and they both let hot water past into the heater core, which sort of defeats the AC a bit. Ended up using a pɹoɟ:cry: one that the AC man recommended.

    It'll only be there the make the car look totally original. I'll probably plug the hoses at the water pump (like they are nowadays with grub screws) so the heater and inlet manifold doesn't get any water. The later examples that Rares sell repros of are pretty crappy too. This one is a genuine one in a GHM box.
