    Those are sweet! Exactly what I was hoping for. I'm sure those will hold up better than the plastic ones. Thanks for posting this!

    great find.... but where can we get them.... will autozone order them or does it need to be something they stock?

    rock auto has 'em for under ten bucks.

    I highly doubt the dorman 47065 will go away immediately, perhaps they might be eventually superseded by 47065HP, but not for now.

    Doesn't appear that anyone carries it but Rockauto.

    only 8.50 to boot, seems like a problem solver in the long run.

    $14 to ship 1/4 oz of parts? thats not right, but your north of the boarder.

    $9.88 this is to NJ. so 20 bucks for for metal elbows still dont seem that bad. its time to ask around at the local part stores, maybe they can order them. i dont see any reason why they could not get them in stock.

    I want these too but isn't it the orings that fail on them more than the plastic?

    O ring could be a problem i guess, but the plastic seems to get brittle and crack first.

    these should be re usable too. slide a new O ring on and a way you go.
