Default WTB Carb Vacuum Fittings

Hi,

I need some carb vacuum fittings.
Can anybody help me out?

Something close maybe...that has a large port for the power brake line and a small 1/8 port for the vacuum advance?

Please see photo....

Thanks

You might be able to find those fittings at general hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowe's.

Hi gtoformula,

Thanks for the reply. You know, I tried the hardware stores. It was the first place I went. The problem is the power brake line fitting is 3/8 threaded sleeve. Hardware stores, at least by me, no longer carry threaded sleeve fittings. They due carry flare and tube fittings but they wont work. You can find threaded sleeve fitting online but only basic fittings like female and male ends. I have been unable to find a 90 degree threaded sleeve fitting of any type so far. Let alone one with a 1/8 male pipe on one side.

If Andre's bag isn't full enough, I'll dig mine out.

Bob,

Thank you for the kind offer. Andre emailed me a photo of one that looks like it will work just fine. If for some reason I run into problems with it, I will let you know.

Thanks again...
