Bummer Phil. Yes you can get the heater hose insert in either brass or original style tin. Make sure you have all the old one out then a bit of gasket cement, around the new piece and tap it in with a stepped punch and hammer. If you dont have a stepped punch use a bolt that fits tight in the insert tube.
