NY Front Iron Housing

My iron housing has a damaged groove where the coolant seal sits. The grove is missing about a quarter inch. I dont think its reusable. I found an s4 iron and was wondering if its compatible with my s5 one

Ports are slightly different on the S5 iron, and the front cover o-ring casting as well. It can be made to work.

I dont know how hard it would be to make it work but I had the same issue and posted in the 2nd gen parts forum and in 2 hours had 3 people offering the plate. Japan2LA was first to respond and the part is beautiful.
