FDC openings

[FreightTrain]

Do the lines actually have to be routed back into themselves or can I just blue glue the heck outta the old openings when I Bypass it?I need a couple fittings somewhere else and thought about robbing it.

The no longer serve a purpose so you could seal them up. I prefer to not 'ruin' anything.. Perhaps you could find some plastic or copper pipe caps and glue them on with RTV?

well,since we are on the subject.....Does anyone know where you can get new or rebuild FDCs?

FT, simply use pipe plugs, I did. The reason for the loops of tubing is to use existing parts.
Use an 1/8 NPT pipe plug for the return flow port (side) and a 1/4 NPT plug on the input (front).
