Try the pneumatic T? Could work, since I tried first to glue the broken inlet
tube into the hole. That time, it did stick. Unfortuatly, I wanted it a bit
longer, So that's where the flex tube comes in.
I tried a different epoxie this time. I used JB weld to glue the flex tube in,
and it seems to work. Hope it stays in.
Thanks for all of your help,
Chris Pritchard
