This evening got board so reconditioned the 2 water fittings from thermostat housing.
Save $30 bucks I suppose.
but its more like, I like to do it myself.
Will now get another few yrs out of them.
lightly sand blasted the ends to remove scale
Wire wheel stripped the gunk off.
This gives a smooth shinier surface, which plates better.
I could of filled the pits with solder but didn't feel like it, and they are not that badly pitted.
ya then scrub clean with sugar soap mix to remove any residue.
Rinse off.
Then plate the zinc back on about an hr.
Another wash and rinse.
Then dip in goldbrite to give the goldish coloured finish.
Hang to dry. diy.

IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE
