They were fuel hose fittings for RC planes or cars. The package contained one T, one penbladder T, and two 90 degree fittings. It cost US$2.95. They are made by Fourmost Products, and called "small fuel fitting size 1/16 inch (1.6mm) I.D. (inside diameter) No.FOR104". I called them and asked to buy just T's. He sold me 20 T's for US$10 plus $4 shipping. They work great and fit perfect. Fourmost Products 4040 24th Avenue Forest Grove, Oregon 97116 (USA) (503)357-2732 He said they had made some custom train wheels for someone's LEGO project. Interesting....they make custom plastic parts. This is not an advertisement. I am not affiliated with the company. I am just passing on a source for plastic pneumatic T's that work great. Mike

		Problem with lego pneumatic parts
Hi, I am looking for some lego pneumatic parts, such as the pistons, cylinder and the T-connectors for connecting the tubes. First of all, pistco does not sell the T-connectors separate from the kit (~$100). Neither do they sell the pistons, or the (...)
