Could someone tell me the source for this product? The ones I have came out of the trash cans at the races.

Thanks!

The ones I use most are Robart. I believe they're intended as air fittings. Problem is, I'm not sure what size - they make two or three different sizes.

I've also gotten them from McMaster-Carr.

Maybe someone else will chime in and tell the size.

McMaster Carr has the ones in the picture, they have others as well. I believe the one in the picture is 5121K902

They also have them for 1/8" tubing as well. I have shown the 3/32" version which is what I use.

I would like to know the source for the plastic tear-drop fitting that slides over your fuel line and is used to pinch off the fuel prior to the motor. I used to buy them from HobbyKing but they are no longer available. Anyone have a clue where to find those little things. They are very handy and hard to find at the scene of the crash! I could use about a dozen of them.

Mike Langlois has been known to make them in the past. Made out of aluminum not plastic. I don't know if he has any right now. Dean

Randy, the last ones I got were from Allen Booth that makes Mastertach. His info is in the back of the newsletters. If he can’t help you, I have a handful and can send you some

I think that these "pinch offs" are actually medical supplies used for I.V. lines.
