I am aware of the aluminum thermostat housing for the Gen I (I have installed one myself). I'm curious if there are other plastic components that can be replaced by metal ones without going to a machine shop. I'm sure making an aluminum degas bottle would be doable and not too difficult given the proper skills, and rigging up an aftermarket radiator would also be doable as well. But I'm talking about like a water crossover or an upper radiator hose (the plastic on mine broke off completely on the inside of the hose almost completely disconnecting the hose going down to the dccv was worried she wouldn't make it to my garage). Was just wondering if there were options out there, not too optimistic though considering the lack of aftermarket support on these cars.
