On my 1985 mini manifold there is (was at it snapped off), a small 5mmdia (brass looking) threaded tube approx 30mm high. Does anyone know what it's for?
Thanks

So it did turn out to be a vacuum take off. I managed to removed the remaining broken pipe which was left in the manifold.
And the pipe that broke off left me enough thread to reuse. So thank you to you guy's for replying.
It's now sorted.
Now onto the next job
