    who do we like for fuel T

    I see there are some preferred vendors named for gaskets and o rings and such. I would like to change out my Fuel T between carb 2-3. Well I actually would love to leave my carbs exactly where they are but I was suspicious of the molded plastic fitting when I reassembled my carbs and while it didnt leak in the last couple of hundred miles since reassembly, this weekend was the first time I had the bike on the highway for any length and today .. leak. The other two connections were aluminum tube with replaceable o rings and I swapped out the O rings but the center T is plastic.

    So who do you guys suggest for a quality T? They didnt have them at my local auto stores.

    Z1 aluminum tees. Perfect. Jeez, just had a look, they're out of stock for your '82 750.....

      I've seen ads for those aluminum tee's but I'm suspicion because they may not be anodized. Raw aluminum will corrode so anodizing is critical.

          A quick fix for cracked rubber fittings would be silicone seal. Jus rub some over the cracks and youre good for a while. I did that on my old gs1000 and it worked. It would certainly last long enough to get your replacement parts in.
