I considered the pipe thread and hose fittings to make a repair; however I weighed it against breaking the tap off in the Throttle body or cracking it and decided not to try. I removed the hose fitting on the intake standpipe fitting and plugged that. Then removed the T-fitting in the heater hose and replaced with longer hose. I used a piece of the T-fitting-bracket to cradle the hose to the alternator bracket as original.
