Brass fuel "T" source?
« on: April 02, 2013, 01:26:27 PM »
 I found a few on ebay, but they're all in Europe. I can only find plastic locally.

 Where can I find a brass or metal fuel "T"? Or, even better, a "Y"?

 I need to go from the dual outlet petcock on my CB500 tank to a single inlet on the CB650 carbs. A "Y" would cause less bends in the fuel line.

I get all mine at Ace Hardware.  Any good hardware store should have what you are looking for.

I've only been able to find "tees" in brass at any of the hardware stores , And I'd be interested to know if anyone has a "Y" , even the auto parts store don't seem to have it.
 Come to think of it,I haven't looked in the Summit Racing catalog to see if there is a set up for dual carbs that could work , has anyone else?
