Gents - Recently while working on my brakes I inadvertently broke the plastic 90 degree threaded pipe fitting where the vacuum line coming off the engine goes into the brake booster. The fitting (threaded on one end, with a hose barb on the other) connected to a vacuum line with an inline check valve, so the fitting itself had no valve in it.
After trying in vain to find a pipe fitting that would work (there is a rubber grommet type washer that it fits into with a 9/16" opening), I special ordered a new fitting with built in check valve from our hosts. The problem is, the threaded end of this check valve is about 7/8"--way too big for the 9/16" opening. Here's the question--does anybody have or know where to source a 90 degree fitting with a hose barb on one end and threaded on the other end to fit a 9/16" opening? Or, can I carefully drill out the hole on my brake booster to fit the larger fitting?
