WOW!  David.....What a remarkable job of research.  The 'Holy Grail', right 
there in the catalog. And only about $150.

I'd  have considered that part in the repair, but the fixed line is back on 
the turbo, and the turbo/head back on the block. The engine is  together 
and the head bolts are already stretched, and we are ready to fire it up today.

Your info is a valuable resource for_ anyone _needing that repair. I hope 
for two things.....that all the 1.6 TD drivers archive your post,  and that 
my epoxy repair lasts as long as I own the 22 year old oil burner.
