Nah... drill a 7/32" hole in place of the broken off port. Then tap the hole 1/8" NPT. Then screw in a 1/8" NPT male thread to 1/8" hose barb and you are done. If you have OCD... cut the bottom nipple off and do this task twice to make the vacuum barbs match. ;)

EDIT: I saw an MVM Stepper pulley for sale on ebay. Not sure that I'll use it, but the price was right so it will live in my jackson racing extra parts bin for now LOL. |

After further consideration of your current issue, I may have another option... I might have a spare original JR hammer-in nipple/barb that I can send you... and this way, all you would have to do is drive it in with a hammer (hopefully pushing the broken part of the original nipple out into the inside). You may also want to use a tool (properly sized punch) to drive the broken barb out first before hammering in the new nipple/barb. |

Nice. Do you know which style MVM pulley you found ? Type "A" fits all alternator applications except the Type R (GS/LS/RS, GSR, B16A, and CRV) and the Type "B" fits the Type R alternator only.

You may also want to use a tool (properly sized punch) to drive the broken barb out first before hammering in the new nipple/barb. That would certainly be an easier option! Let me know if you do have one and I'll send you some $$$ for the part and shipping. If not, no biggie, I just placed an order for a small set of NPT taps. |

Email or PM me a link to the ad and I can help identify the pulley.

Hopefully going to make some real progress on this install this weekend. Having parts gone for so long and taking so long to get back, I've really lost a lot of motivation to get this thing done. Its such a momentum killer. The car has not been on the road since December 2022. Eeeeek.
