cant check geocities from work, but you can make your own real easy...

1 ea - 1/4 npt brass T
2 ea - 1/4 npt to 1/4 hose barb
1 ea - 3/8 Fine Thread Allen head bolt (or similar)
1 ea - 3/8 Fine Thread Tap (to rethread on end of the T)
1 ea - ball bearing that seats inside of the hose barb fitting
1 ea - spring with a soft/medium resistance

common sense to assemble

so i went to lowes to get the stuff last weekend and found out LOWES SUCKS! they had no sort of ball bearing and only could get springs in a bag of like 50 assorted springs. that was like 20 bucks.

so yeah... does home depot really have all this ----?!

some do, well, most of it, my local HD didnt have the right ball bearings or correct Allen Head bolt, so I went to ACE Hardware and got all of the stuff for about $0.75 more in total cost

when i did mine, they didnt have the correct sized tap at HD and i went to Grainger and picked one up. Harbor Frieght has the correct tap in a set they sell for cheap, everywhere else had the corse thread tap only, or the fine thread in a kit that was like $75 ACE Hardware had the tap as well, however i had already gotten one at Grainger on the way up to ACE (Grainger didnt have the springs or ball bearings either).


the tap cost me about $5, everything else was about $5, total of about $10 spent, and $15.94 in gas driving around
