Hi guys
Any suggestions on how to glue the oil elbows/barbs/nozzles into the intake rubbers. One of mine seems to be leaking so I'm going to remove it and stick it back in. Any tips on the best way to do this to stop leaks ?? Theres bound to be something on the forum about this but i cant find it !!!

Re: Oil barbs into intake rubbers
There are new parts available for an acceptable price. I think it was on alibaba.
Don't know the quality but the chinese are good in manufacturing rubber and plastic stuff.
Inside the flange there should be metal. If you want to reuse the old parts it should be possible to use some metal glue. There should be something from Loctite which can be used.

Re: Oil barbs into intake rubbers
...does the barb go into a metal part inside the rubber?
i can see they used some kind of glue on these pattern ones;

i wonder what they use; just epoxy resin?

Re: Oil barbs into intake rubbers
Thanks for this link pete. That looks like a good solution. I tried to remove my barb but i couldnt get it out. I was afraid i was going to snap the barb off it so I've left it in and will run some epoxy around the outside if the joint.
