Default Where to buy T-Piece connectors for coolant hose

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can buy T-Piece connectors for coolant hoses? The reason being that one of the connectors used to hookup the LPG system on the landcruiser has perished and broken off. Now this one was made of plastic. Can you get metal ones? There doesnt appear to be any on the supercheap auto site. They have plastic ones which are made for vacuum lines..

Cheers,

Hi. Autobarn in Dandenong carry a large range of brass fittings and should have 5/8 Ts in stock. If thats too far out of your way then get in touch with Industrial fittings sales ( http://www.ifsaus.com.au/home.html ) and find out from them who stocks the fittings you need. Cheers MD
