Is that one of those phenolic (brown fabric-y spacers) with
the molded-in PCV hose nipple?

They all break off. One fix is to chop off the broken nub, and
drill the spacer/insulator out, and insert a 3" piece of 5/16"
or is that 3/8" steel line epoxied in. Looks totally stock and
is stronger than original. It's easy.
