If you're talking about the "special rubber T thing" I'm not sure where else to get them, but you could redo the entire line with some regular universal plastic T's and some silicone/rubber hose. Most local auto parts stores will have the plastic T's and some hosing or if you want to get fancy you could try to hit up the local hardware/home improvement store and get some brass ones. I have some plastic left overs laying around from when I redid my entire vacuum line system which I could through in an envelope and send you, just let me know the size you need.
The auto parts store might even have some of the rubber T's so you could keep the hard plastic vacuum lines, but I personally get rid of any hard plastic line because they just crack and cause vacuum leaks.

I checked ebay and there are some rubber T's for sale in a bunch of different sizes.

Nice find. That's a good price for the entire hardline and rubber fittings. Love ShopGMParts :thumbleft:

Yeah, Patrick was very helpful with getting me a vacuum harness for the GT, the one that goes from the throttle body to the FPR and the Evap canister purge solenoid. Mine is still in good shape, but the 2 into 1 rubber connector on the throttle body won't last forever. ;-)

And there's nothing wrong with trying to rig something up, provided you can find the parts. I'm just happy to be able to grab some of this stuff through ShopGMParts while it's still available. :smile:

Haha, when I redid mine I had to hair line cracks in 2 of the emissions (plastic) lines so I said F it all, and did this...

Vacuum leaks gone.

Except for that stupid SAI pump but that's not your fault.

Haha, I forgot about heatshrinking them. I did that a couple times on the 97. Still holding strong.

Just get creative :lol:
If you look at the pic I posted, the T for the fuel pressure regulator was a rubber T fitting, but I just used a plastic T and cut a short piece of hose to go to the reg. So basically just slid the rubber/silicone hoses onto what you can and if you need to reuse the other rubber fittings (like the ones on the end and not the T like 506 in the pic) just get a straight connector so the hose can connect to the fitting.

Another pic haha This also shows another rubber T fitting that I replaced with hose and a plastic internal T and also shows how I used one of the stock rubber elbows.

^^You should be able to find this stuff at Autozone, Advance, or O'Reilly Auto Parts, whatever is in your area. I'm guessing you'll need 1/8" inner diameter hose & fittings.

We have a small wall of vacuum lines/fittings at the Advance Auto I work at.
