Hi and welcome,
It is possible to replace it but you will have a very hard job finding one.
Out of interest how did you manage to break it?

Hello! They are brittle wee things, I did the very same thing myself on my 29. Give Graeme France a bell, his number will be all over this forum, and ask for a "fuel in T piece" for your bike. Make sure you're sitting down when he tells you the price, they're bloody dear for what they are.

Good luck.

Thank you all for the quick reply. Petrolhead im not sure I must have twisted it when removing the carbs im used to fuel injection on my gsxr all I can say is made a error but I know for the future. I have spoken with gf and he's going to give me a call back tomorrow to organize the part. Cheers again is there any other things I should watch for?

The carb rubbers can go really hard with time and be a complete twat to fit, other than that not a lot. I'm totally paranoid now with that wee T piece cos mine broke just by giving it a dirty look!
