Default 1 1/4 inch aluminum T

My project is stopped because I can not find a 1 1/4 inch aluminum T for a water manifold connecting to my webers. Does anybody know where I could find this piece. I do not have the ability to weld aluminum or I would make it myself. Thank you jpfletch@pacbell.net

I see blue thunder sell this proper piece for SBF, is that what you want one for...or another application.
I was just on the Ford 'Y-Block' site & they have a pic in the SBF Weber manifold section..

This manifold design incorporates a fuel distribution block. Others just run a single line from the pump then in series to each carb. Used on 289 Cobra.

From what I understand this is for an ERA GT40?, & these cars per the ERA info have the coolant going from the outlet or T/Stat via this 'Tee' into the bottom of the header tank which appears to be mounted on the RHS firewall-beside #1 plug-. The 'Tee' is mounted between the water outlet & header tank & is also attached to the pipe going fwd to the radiator. Therefore the 'Cobra' type water neck will exit on the wrong side.

JP Fletch also posted this enquiry on GT40's, I was able to attach a dwg on that site, it wont upload here for some reason..

If Im correct he wants a simple single barbed 'Tee' fitting in alloy to suit a hose with 1.25" bore
