Default 03 Plenum/manifold vacuum line clip red

What's the part# for the little red clip on the passenger side of the intake that locks in the one vacuum line? I'll have a pic tonight!
Won't be able to get to dealer this week so any source online?

Thanks

From what I have heard you can find this fitting in brass at a hardware store, like Ace or True Value screw/bolt isle. Also check the air fittings section with a ****** end and other end threaded. Then it will never break again. And its probably $3.00 instead of $14

Just call your dealer and order a replacement for the red disconnect.
They rarely brake, unless some one tries to remove the line and doesn't know how to do it.

My ever so helpful dealer told me a year and a half ago that the red collar into which the brake servo vac line is seated is available ONLY as part of a replacement plenum. If anyone has a part number for the collar only I would love to see it posted here.

And yes, I was removing the vac line without knowing how to do it (push in on the red fitting while pulling out on the vac line). Counterintuitive. Oh well.

In the meantime I cut one side off of a nylon grommet from Radio Shack and fit the vac pipe through it and into the plenum. It has worked well for 20 months now. Remember that the vacuum is pulling the line toward the plenum, not pushing it out. My grommet fix seals the line just fine, but I would replace it with the proper red collar if I could get my hands on one.
