Old Fleetwood 06-03-07, 10:59 PM If you're REALLY lucky, a good boneyard might come up with one IF they are on some sort of network but they'd prolly gouge you $$ for it. The other way is get a copy of HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS and look thru the ads for parts places that might have such goodies for older classics. Then again, others on this BB might come up with still better ideas.

They craze and become extremely brittle. dkozloski 06-03-07, 11:14 PM If you're REALLY lucky, a good boneyard might come up with one IF they are on some sort of network but they'd prolly gouge you $$ for it.

Surely there are some transparent/translucent plastics around which could be used or else keep hunting in a boneyard for old time fuel line parts with glass bits that MIGHT fit. turaboy 06-12-07, 10:11 PM They show up on eBay every so often, in usuable shape. Unless they are perfect, in which case you'll pay lots of $$. carnut 06-14-07, 01:01 PM Just a wild guess, but possibly an air compressor supplier? some use a glass bowl for water seperators in the air supply hose fitting. | |
