I fabricated some from 1/8" wall SS square tube on a friend's '84 Westy.
  Drilled and tapped eight holes, added eight brass barb fittings...THEN
someone told me about these:

Could plug the end and add four barb fittings, sell off the air chucks
and make a profit. :-)
Any way you look at it fabbed ones will be cheaper and never fail.
