M38 Engine Primer

Is there a modern equivalent for the spray nozzle elbow (7053669) and spray nozzle tee (7374842) that fit into the inlet manifold? These are the last parts I need for my engine primer setup.

I can get them as part of an original kit, but I don't want to pay out for a full kit just to get the spray nozzles. Does anyone sell the parts separately?

Thanks in advance,
Owen.

You can substitute aviation primer fittings and tubing.

These are the fittings:

Here's one supplier:

Pete Debella broke out the parts for me as one had broke during installation.

Thanks for the responses, folks. Much appreciated!

As a final roll of the dice, I thought "they sell a lot of miscellaneous crap on Ebay; try typing in the part numbers". So, here goes:

Ordnance part number - nothing.

Federal stock number - same old.

Manufacturer's part number - woohoo!

Check these out:

The internal part is threaded, btw (second photo, right side); my poor photo skills just don't show it too well. Here's the Fleabay link:

Apparently the M35 trucks use the same elbows as the M38. Who would've thought? Still searching for the tee nozzle (PR20-1100), but I can modify the setup to use the two elbows until I find the tee.

A small victory, but these days I take any lucky breaks I can get.....
