E-mag MAP connections
How have other builders plumbed e-mags to the MAP system?
I've spent about 2 hours going through catelogs ond searching the web for hardware to connect my e-mag and p-mag to the MAP line with no luck. I have the Van's map kit which comes with a pre-made braided hose and f/w fitting. The fitting has the flair on the cabin side cut off and a 1/8 hose barb screwed into it.
My desire is to use a modified F/W fitting so that I can use the Van's braided hose as is to connect to the engine and run the rubber hose off a nipple to the e-mags. The AN-804 seems to be the best bet for this but I'll need to figure out how to connect 1/8 in ID rubber hose to 2 of the runs.

I can't find the threaded barbs. Does anyone know where Van's gets them for the VA-170 F/W fitting/restrictor?
I would rather not replace the braided hose that came with the Van's MAP kit.
