Marlin,
I will not start this project until I get your new replacement. Will send you a PM for details.
I am sure that just like your thermostat/manifold piece that the heater hose barb is also a fine piece of your excellent craftsmanship. But being a visual kind of person would still like to see a pic or 2.
