Tried internet , no luck with this T pipe fitting (Next to check valve). Approx. size1/4 x 1/8 x 1/4
or 5/16 x 3/32 x 5/16. Does anyone know where I can get this fitting or a good used one?
Thanks.

Reason: Correct.
Hi ck,
That's a very difficult one to find.
Used tees are somewhat rare because the 1/16" nipple is so easy to break.
The regular vendors have one that's usable but the large nipples are 90 degrees from each other rather than 180 degrees. It makes the hoses run at a slightly odd angle.
Maybe someone has found a source for the one you show, but I'm not aware of it.
Regards,
Alan
Dr. Rebuild 2771222 is an example of what I describe.
I got tired of the replacement nipples breaking so I made one out of ABS on my lathe. A little different for the ncrs guys, but it works great. I need to make some more, let me know if you want one. Us '70 guys need to stick together.
Does it have to be factory correct, or appearing? If not I have a large selection of pneumatic brass tees at work, happy to send, no charge or you can just google pneumatic tee fittings. Good luck
Finally uncovered the car with the connector I made. This is a little crude, but it works and doesn't leak vacuum. If I made more I would do a few things a little differently.
