Capri - Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [22]

I spent considerable time on Google trying to find an alternative to my broken Y junction but really was not very successful. I listed a few places & was determined to spend the morning trying to find a solution. By chance I found I had a ½ inch brass joiner that screwed onto the tapered fitting I already had so I set out to see what could be found. Repco found me a ½ inch T section & then another ½ inch reduced which solved my problem. Apart from meaning some extra joining pieces, I was very pleased to have worked out something. Trying to fit in all the hoses is a nightmare but I think they are all joined up but I need two more clamps. Then it was time to connect up some more wiring & I had a good look at the new distributor. I thought it looked pretty simple but after talking to Capri club member, Ray, it may be a little more complex than I thought. I need to do some more homework but the end is nigh! (Famous last words!) [The brass fittings show my alternative junction].
