    Were you the fabricator who made some but couldn't sell them, or they took much longer to sell than anticipated?

    I made a 2 piece version, specifically for supercharged conversions.
    The new version will be closer to the stock tube with the ability on my end to alter for supercharged fellas.
    Yes they will also be made from stainless steel.

    I'll buy one as a spare. Prepaid will be fine if necessary. It will stay with the car/estate until sold, along with the rest of my MM paraphernalia and anything I acquire into the future. Currently enjoying my MM as a 'daily driver' while I'm here in FL on a temp(?!?!) basis.

    Crossover tube

    Are there any for sale still? I have the same problem, the fill cap is frozen solid. Me, and two mechanics have broken ratchets trying to break this thing free. Please let me know.

    Try my summit radiator cap splice in the upper rad hose. Then you don't need to take that crossover cap off to bleed it. 1000 miles on mine so far....$24 bucks at summit.

    Turn with channel locks, 1/4 inch extension in the square, tap it with a hammer. Some heat may help, then throw that plug away!!
