Look at this ‘‘T’’ fitting on E-Bay Item number: 270918406408.–

Can anyone locate a photo of the plastic fuel line ‘‘T’’ on the
series 2 E? I found a damaged one, but it is black and I seem to
think they were white (or off white). I was trying to explain it to
a guy that works on obscure foreign cars and he thought there’s
something available like that.
Thanks,
Phil.

Phil,
There is a photo of the ‘‘T’’ on Page 12 of the JCNA E-Type
Series 2 Judge’s Guide that you can find online at the JCNA
web site. As you say, the T is white.

Mine was black way back when I replaced it with a metal
one.Because it cracked and spewed gas all over the engine,
good thing it was caught as I pulled out of the garage…I
hate to think I would 've had to use my fire extinguisher
and have a burnt car…–

They were ALL white–same color (almost) as the fuel line. The JCNA
guide suggested is correct and this has been an item of interest in
JCNA–as such SNG Barratt is reproducing the ‘‘T’’ in the correct
shape and size with a very careful eye toward modern fuels. The big
advantage of using the original '‘T’'s is that bits of the ‘‘T’’ do not
break off and stop up the float valves as do the rubber tube with
steel '‘T’'s. The down side is that the correct ‘‘T’’ must be placed
in by pulling both carbs off the studs. The major failure of the
orig. '‘T’'s is that they were bent and forced in improperly. Without
disturbance they last as long as the orig. fuel lines!–

Thanks, George.
I thought they had tiny rubber hoses on each end, but I mis-
remembered. I’ll have to check out SNG, if I can figure out what
it’s called in their catalogue.
