Vacume pipe fittings

Can anyone let me know where to get the small black rubber fittings for the end of the vacume pipe that runs from the Carb to the distributor?

I remember my metro some years ago had these on so i a trip to my local rover dealer nearly killed me, they wanted £7.50 each! and i need two.

Both of mine are split and i want to get my car roaling roaded in the next few weeks so want the carb in best running order. What are the issues with not having a decent seal on the vacume pipes?

I have a twin choke downdraught on a 2.0 pinto.

Cheers

Colin

probably need to be angled conrod, as i dont have a long enought piece of thin tube to connect them if they are to be straight.

Thanks for the kind offer though.

Try getting some diesel injector 'leak off' pipe from your local diesel repair specialist, motor factors etc. Not angled, but you can use any length of this pipe you need to connect up.
