            That  plastic Y nipple is not available separately from
ANYWHERE except used.   They come as part of the now obsolete gas tank cross over
tube assembly.   The best you can do is go to a good hardware store that has
a very good  selection of brass fittings and make up one that resembles what
you broke from  brass fittings.  This process was explained here on the
LIST some time ago,  so If you were to search the archives you will find more
information on which  brass fittings you will need.
