Default Broken BPV is it fixable?
I got this 710N BPV off a friend who had it in his garage for free. I noticed after I got home that the top was broken off. Is there any way to replace that top cap and the vacuum line inlet without buying a new one? I know these arent very expensive but was mostly curious to see if it could be replaced.
TIA
Brian

Default buy a new one, or go to home depot and buy a threaded hose barb and some epoxy.
