Don't feel bad about breaking that part. It was probably already weakened or cracked.
On my '88 Westy, that part on right side was broken completely, leading to copious gas
spill on fillup :(.
The Bus Depot, VanAgain, GoWesty all have kits and may have parts separately, but if
you can afford it, might as well replace them all so you don't have to do it again for
a while. The crossover tube, which includes the 'Y' on each end, supposedly were in
short supply a while back, and the price for that part keeps going up.
Check the expansion tanks, one up in each wheel well. The grommets on top have been
known to go mushy and let in road debris which then gets into the tank.
