EGR pipe? Help?

[Fra66L]

I've recently acquired a very nice set of headers but it appears that the EGR at the header fitting is incompatible with the NB8A fitting. It appears to need a (roughly) 22mmx1.5 male fitting (header is female fitting). From some research on the big list it appears I might be chasing a NB8B+ EGR pipe or a bolt to block it of at least. I've tried a couple of bolt places here in Bris today but nobody seems to have anything to fit.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone got a spare EGR pipe in Bris? It's a stretch, I know but I'd love to be able to fit it tomorrow.....

Cheers,

Andrew,
Thanks for that. Looks like that fitting is female. I'm looking for a male fittlng to block it off. Looks like this...

Did you have any luck today

Cheers Andrew,
Found a 1/2in brass pipe cap at Bunnings today. The thread was near enough to get quite a few turns in (I suspect it may even be the right thread). I put a coating of muffler putty on the threads and whacked it in and it's in the garage setting at the moment. I won't get a chance to attempt fitting until tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the thing seals but iof not I have a tube of RTV high temp black sitting down there which is good to about 620deg so that's plan B....
I'll try and keep you posted with pics...
Cheers,
