Diesel Parts

Post by MikeD »

Hi Folks,
I need a mixing elbow for my Yanmar 2GM. I'm curious where others buy parts for their diesel engines?
Thanks!
Mike

I have won many good parts on Ebay.

I got "sticker shock" when I priced one out, so made one up with black and brass pipe. Five years old now and still solid.
Not shown in the first photo is a threaded portion added to the end of the black pipe, then a threaded colar to join the two different metals. It's on the bench, tacked together, ready for welding. The smaller water pipe was brazed into the brass section.
