EGR Reinstallation Issues

[Woodchip01]

Howdy all,
I am attempting to reinstall the EGR system on my 1996 Mazda B3000 that had it deleted. I purchased the DORMAN 598-138 EGR tube as I don't have the OEM part. Now, there's this little adapter which bolts to the exhaust manifold and then connects to the EGR tube. On my truck this adapter has been welded shut. See below:

My exhaust manifold:

I am trying to find this adapter part online and have had zero luck. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Lars

Your EGR tube looks like a giant brake line with a nut and a flare on the end of the tube?

yeah, see the link to the Dorman 598-138.

What do you think the chances are they put weld on top of weld and if you grind all that off, that enough is left in the adapter? Doubtful but it may be worth a try.

I’ll give it a shot but I would say slim to none.
