s4 water fill neck replacements

Anyone know if something like this or this will work on the s4 thermostat housing?

The plastic barb for the overflow broke on mine and I'd rather not replace it with another plastic piece if I can help it. These are pretty much the same price as the oem replacement on mazdatrix, too.

Thanks for looking.

Be nice if they gave you the hole spacing, wouldn't it.

this is what i bought from mazdatrix when mine broke 3 years ago
87-88 Cap Assembly w/o overflow tube (aluminum) 15-17Y0-N323

if you have an overflow barb on the rad like mine did then you dont need the other one.

+1 Got this one with the proper seal for it. Never had an issue since as far as this piece goes.

For future reference, no, the SBC necks will not work. The hole spacing is 3.23".


...off to mazdatrix.

3.23" that is an odd size even in inches!
