Broke off the Nipple on the FPR. Where to get a new one?

[VR4coop]

So i broke off the nipple on my BR/SX Fuel pressure regulator. Anyone have any idea where I can get a new one. Or at least the size and thread of it.

It's the one Buschur racing sells.



Thanks

I have never used a s/x regulator but most of them are 1/8" pipe thread that's the size that goes in the regulator and the side that your vacuum hose goes on is 1/8" barbed

If you want to order you can got to summit racing or jegs but if your in a rush home depot has these in the plumbing section but its brass

 

I bet you could probably pick that up at your local race shop or even lowes or home depot.

Checked Lowe's and the local hardware shop. They didn't have anything. See if the local speed shop has something I guess.

really odd there should be a section with brass fittings

It's not 1/8 pipe. It is really really small. Went to HD and they didn't have anything even close. Brought it over my friends house who owns a hot rod shop and he had never seen anything that small. Decided to just re-tap the hole and put a bigger nipple in it. Problem solved.

So how did you break it? Let's hear the story.

It was loose, and was always coming loose on me. Apparently I go to the gym to much, tightened it up, took a little snug on it and snap. Good work Clint.


Thanks
