Where can I find the barbs for oil catch can hoses?

Hey gents,

I have a generic oil catch can and I want to install it as per the instructions in this video from Mini Mania but I need those plastic barbs he shows (at minute 11:12) that are included with the BSH catch can. Anyone like ECS Tuning etc sell those?


I have this unit:

It's the only place that I've come across the barbs without buying a catch can kit. I've seen installations (on YT) where they cut the existing PCV hose and add in brass elbows available at any hardware. Seems to work, but I think the installation with the barbs seems neater.

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-nm-engin...hwk498801~nme/ I think this is what you are looking for. I man’d up and cut mine and used brass fittings.
