JNC Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If it's a small plastic T with a screw cap you can buy it on eBay 301968710630 . I have fitted two of these to my cars, And were very pleased with them. they are sold by a Caterham owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 15, 2016 Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 Some plastic ones have failed, and it would be nice to locate a metal one that doesn't need brazing or similar.JonathanPS: I bought a plastic one like that but have never needed to fit it.
