I should have made it plain that I'm talking about how to make an
in-line restrictor to go from a generic tee to the plastic line.

Another way which *could* be practical depending on the tee material,
would be to put a little epoxy plug in the end and drill that with a #54.

Incidentally, for folks who've broken the small arm but left a bit of
a stub - 6 mm fuel injector hose is a tight slip fit, and if you
hollow it away on one side to match the "trunk" or larger diameter of
the tee you'll get best use of the engagement depth you have left.
