Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got one of these elbows (Part No. 52014-1001) ?
If not, has anyone found a suitable replacement to do the job ?

I replaced mine about 5 years ago but could not find an original for sale.
The problem with the original is It is made in 2 halves (lengthwise) and over time it literally falls apart.
So I bought a couple of these off ebay & cut the one I have in use down to size
It is basically a right angle fuel line with reinforcing cords running down the length.
I put an old magazine I had lying around, in the picture - to give an idea of size / scale.
I can't remember the supplier name now but a bit of searching should bring up similar items.
if you are not worried about 100% originality, something like this is a practical alternative.

Thanks for the replies.
I ordered 1 of these on the off chance it might fit......which it does perfectly. It's a fuel pipe elbow for a Fiesta Mk3 diesel.

I'll fit an 8mm push fit straight connector to the other end and then it's a length of fuel hose .

The mystery is solved!...
I recently bought a Z1R for restoration, and started looking at it last weekend. I took off the tank and saw the boss there and was scratching my head as to what it was for
Where does the overflow pipe run too exactly. There is what looks like a pipe boss on the plastic fuel sender cover, surely it doesn't connect to that??
The main fuel inlet to carbs is between #2 and #3, there are also inlets between #1 and #2 and #3 and #4, is it one of these, if not what are they for?
Sorry, I am an injection man, havent messed with Carbs for years and don't have a relevant manual. Is there a specific manual for Z1r?, or does anyone have one lurking around they want to part with??
Cheers
Rob

The inlets between 1 an 2 , and 3 and 4 are vent tubes for the carbs that run back and clip into the air box lid then just end down behind the side panel, tucked away, the sender cover joints into an overflow pipe that weaves it's way back tucking in to end up down behind the left panel, the other side with said elbow does similar but on the right hand side, many tanks had them removed years ago.
