Oh, by the way---we must be having that "language barrier" thing---Up here in Canada, a bib is something we tie around the baby's neck when he is eating supper.

What do you think of the billet aluminum water neck?
Looks like a good way to go.

I think we call the piece that sprung a leak on your RPU a gooseneck.
Wasn't completely sure and it seems common to call the radiator outlets "bibs."

Bibs for us are also water faucets where the hose screws on.

As well as food soppers for baby....
