Escort mk2 fuel splitter
...I'm sure there's a better technical description, but I've attached pics too! I'm looking for the plastic splitter that sits inside the plastic fuel neck cover. Two of my four pegs have broke. I know it's a common problem but if anyone has a good one spare, let me know and I'll buy it from you! Thanks and Happy New Year!

Hi,
Had to buy one of these for a client a few years ago and was $250 ! let me know if you find a cheaper source. They're a Vapour/Fuel Breather.

$250 for a little piece of plastic? Has the world gone completely mad?

I think so!! If it's $250 for that - my RS must be valued at about $2.7m!

Funny thing is some of these rare parts at drug money prices pale into insignificance when you realise we've been paying hell-uv-a-lot-more everytime millions of us around the world buy any size Gem for our girlfriends or wives!...........thousands of bucks for a grain of glass or a white pea sized ball mounted on a bit of metal !............it's all too much to grasp. So i dont. If I want it I just shut-up and pay. If you dont EVER do drugs or excess alcohol, all these items are affordable.

I've never seen one of these before.
If it's just a breather, and isn't submerged in the tank, would it not be possible to make something up as a replacement?
Maybe out of stainless tube, depending on what it has to do.
If it was worth more than $250 I'd look at sussing out what other options you may have.

Especially considering that diamonds cost about $5 a carat to extract, cut and polish, and that the high retail price is driven by stockpiling gems on an industrial scale in order to restrict availability.
