Hi Mike
I drove to Phoenix Monday morning and got a replacement part from Gordon. It is a replacement original aluminium casting just like to old one, minus the cracks of course. When I got it back to Tucson I took a tap of the correct size and thread pitch and cleaned out all four ports. I also cleaned up the threads on the two plugs and the two fittings. I used two wraps of teflon tape on all of the threaded ends inserted the fittings and torqued them to 35 inch lbs. Hooked up the hoses and no leaks so far.
