Default DIY Vacuum Fitting

Stores around here SUCK for fittings, and the smallest barbed fitting I can get is 1/4in, but I need a 1/8th for my Wastegate, so I decided to just make my own out of JB Weld and two pieces of old fittings from a different project.
I'm just posting this because I'm bored

Just incase anyone happens upon this thread in a search someday - my DIY JB Weld fitting held up about 2 mineuts under heavy driving. Fortunatly I had a REAL fitting to replace it on hand, so it wasn't a problem.

Intercoolers and BOV's seem to do fine with JB Weld, considering that they don't get too hot, and aren't under a lot of stress - fittings and Oil Pans on the other hand...
