4.4 TDV8 Top Bleed Tube Fitting

There is a 90 degree plastic fitting referenced PA66-GF30 on the top bleed tube on my 4.4l TDV8 that has cracked and subsequently leaking coolant. Trying to either source this part or if not replace it with a metal 90 degree fitting. Anyone know where I can find one of these plastic fitting or if not whether replacing it with a metal 90 degree will be a problem?

They do appear to be!

However, they seem to be facing the same way on the broken bit of plastic next to it. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

I realised it was wrong after I'd made it but couldn't be bothered to remake it as it's only a bleed tube. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thanks for this and looks like the one.
No problem it seems not to have to replace the original item here which Ive been told will take 5 weeks to source from the UK.
It actually broke from contact with the rubber engine cover which I had only just adjusted to sit level on the top of the engine. Very brittle fitting. Must have been ready to go and so happy for it to have happened in the driveway and not out on the road.
There are plenty of metal 90 degree fittings out there that I can source.

Parts supply issues was the reason I made it as the car would have been stuck at the garage for weeks if not months waiting for stock. The end that goes into the housing is a push and clip fit so may not be universal but I'm sure gluing one in there with epoxy would do the job. The thermostat housing below also fell apart when it was removed but the garage was luckily able to source that. The black plastic on these cars is not aging well...... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
