Got my 4.3 in this week and was just going around and hooking things up and found a crack in the brass fitting on the transom mounted rack that the power steering line threads into. Pic of a similar rack below- it's the larger of the two fittings. Need to find a replacement but am having trouble searching for it as I don't know its name.

Pics are of a similar rack with the part circled, and another pic of the offending (cracked) brass fitting I need to replace. It's 3/4 hex on the outside nut that the 5/8ths steering line threads into.

Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It’s an X (size) to Y (size) adapter.

Thanks all. Found the part number- in case anyone is searching in future it's:

3859042- oring
3859043- fitting

Finding someone who has one is now the hard part. None of the marinas or auto stores near me have anything comparable. Looks like I'm paying $25 for a Volvo part that should be a $2 brass fitting. :/
