Default Fuel Pump "Y" Connector

Anybody know where to get the "Y" that connects the fuel pump lines to the outlet?
Discovered mine has a small crack in it and is losing pressure.
It is the one connecting the 3 hoses together on the sending unit assy. Believe it is 5/16" on the pump sides and 3/8" on the outlet side.
Also, what hose does everybody use to replace the original on the sending unit?
Thanks for the help.

You would need to salvage that off another pump assembly.

Or spend $200 plus dollars for a whole new assembly.

I have a couple of these let me check that piece and see if Its usable.

Btw what you think its worth?

This would be an option:

You just might need a different clamp to tighten the 3/8 hose onto the 5/16 barb. I looked into this awhile back.

Johnny,
Thanks for the offer.
I am concerned that an original plastic one would probably be brittle just like mine is. Nearly 30 years is a long time for plastic to remain serviceable.
I was able to do a repair on mine and everything is holding fine for now, but I am checking into several options for a better permanent replacement.
The 2 different size hoses sort of throws a kink into buying one off the shelf.
I'll report back if I come up with something.

Yes, I saw those. The configuration is a little different, but it might work. I may get one and try it. Depending on the diameter of the barb on the side for the 3/8" hose, might be able to get it to seal properly.
They have one for 3/8" also, but I am pretty sure 3/8" hose will not hold securely on the pump outlets.
Thanks for the reply.
