Exhaust Back Pressure plate/fitting

Has any seen this? I was trying to replace the fitting that went in the plate that the EBP sensor screws into. I have a sensor broke off in the fitting.

It looks like it's been welded so it wouldn't spin. Is this stock? Doubtful.
Anyway, any idea where to get a new one? Probably a junk yard pull.

I believe they are welded factory. You can just easy out the broken sensor.

Replace the cover and the tube with this kit. Works perfect and makes removing that cover a lot simpler.

I tried the easy out. It snapped it half. That thing is in there. I already have a new tube and sensor. You can see the corse reverse threads in the brass in the first picture.

I think I've decided to try and replace the fitting. I'm going to see if I can find one at a local hydraulic shop. Then I'll just have to cut and re tack it. I don't like how flimsy the tab is. It bends easy.

Dieselorings sells the fitting or the complete cover with fitting.

Thank you sir. I'll look. I figured out the male end is 1/2-20 and the female is 10mm. Good luck finding that one.

I'm going to attempt to tap this one or try and clean it out with a 10mm tap and drill. We'll see.
