Vacuum lines in intake manifold

Vacuum lines in intake manifold
As my Rover has gotten older and I have done more piddling on it I have gotten very intolerant of the little plastic parts and the hose clamps in the engine bay. Those hard plastic lines, in particular, are very fragile and seem out of place of a vehicle that was represented as tough and easy to repair. In fact (on soapbox), I would have bought a discovery I had I known That land Rover was going to weigh down the new model with electronics and plastic. I just had to have the extra cargo soace
My focus is on the two vacuum lines on the passenger side of the intake manifold. I have had trouble with the little red clip insert and the plastic barb next to it.
Following advice in the forums I replaced the plastic barb with a brass one. The other part, the one with the red ring (well, currently the red ring is gone and it is full of gasket maker), is not threaded and I have had considerable problems with that vacuum port leaking and causing engine problems. But playing with it tonight I see that the black fitting spins freely and is not threaded. It must be pressed in. Further, the opening is not the right size for any of the random brass fittings I bought at the hardware store.
Has anyone come up with a non plastic solution to that port? I know I can pay 20 dollars for another red ring, but I'm done with that.

my guess is you want to replace this part
Intake Manifold Brake Servo Vacuum (Genuine Part # LZN100220L) - Land Rover hydraulics from Atlantic British
if this is what is giving you issues you need to replace the whole part.
however, there is a post where a guy replaced the red clip with a plastic grommet he got from radio shack and replace it.
