Vacuum pipe connector?

Anyone know where I can buy a vacuum through-connector for the MAP sensor in my megajolt case, just like the one in the picture below? I could make one, but I'm feeling lazy...

Ta,
David

How about a windscreen washer bulkhead fitting? My local auto spares place has a box full of widgets like that.

These days if I am connecting (or reconnecting split or broken) vacuum pipe, I use modern electrical crimp butt conectors of the appropriate size. If security of the pipe is an issue then just add a couple of small cable-ties to be totally secure.


edit below :-
The vacuum pipes go over the outside of the butt connector ( which has a slight olive at each end) and with the alli fitting inside it flows air but with only a very slight resistance.
