Is it this kit I must buy 5270 JK? It seems just this part is not available alone.

I was repairing the larger rubber returns near the doseur valves, I used fuel line and connectors like these :

You might not end up with the same shape, but as long as the LHM makes it home to the reservoir :wink:

Do you have any idea about the thickness of the pipes? there are 4 pipes that need to be connected. Are they the same thickness.

Maybe two 3 way connectors will do the job. Can i use the existing pipes ?

Any advice appreciated.
