Dumb me, broke it while bleeding a hot systems ....sprayed a litre or more of hot coolant on the floor.....

Fortunately, I was able to get it out...

Does anyone have a part number so that I can order one ASAP?

Thanks

Should be: 931 106 156 00

The water neck is show in a different orientation than it should be, but the figure is for the M44.50, 51 & 52 heads.

76 911s

931 106 156 00

Turns out it is a M8 thread, so I have a temporary M8 12mm bolt in there. Any issues with it as a stop gap?

You won't be able to bleed the system with it... only negative I see from here...

You can still bleed the system with a standard bolt - it is not as clean!
I will toss one in with the the LC-1 on Monday!

You are better off with a vacuum based coolant filler tool anyway. No bleeding needed, no coolant splashing all over your motor, no venting and reventing, etc.

Got a link, Tom?

I didn't buy mine from this source, but here is a link to the one I use. Works perfectly. You need shop air to use it, however.

nope. it will be fine. You can marginally bleed it, but will make a mess. I've done it before. A new one is like 3 bucks, from the dealer, atleast it was from Brumos. I now keep an extra in the glove box.
No big deal.

A eazy fix is take your die grinder and grind / cut a short slot in the bolt about halfway up extending to the end (away from head, a bit deeper than the threads. Chase it with a nut or a die and for less than $2 you got a bleeder screw. You can just unscrew it untill the slot is visible, same effect as a factory bleeder.

Thanks for all the help, guys. Especially, Chris White!

I have the M8 x 12mm 1.0 pitch in there now, and while it is not perfectly bled, I am okay for now, until I replace the bolt with a proper bleeder screw...
