Currently have the carbs off and now notice that there are small cracks in the rubber on the fuel tee pieces between the carb pairs (part 16046-002)
They probably still seal but I think they need changing.

So,
Kawasaki genuine ones are about £28 each https://www.z-power.co.uk/carb-t-piece-nipple-z1-z1000
Keyster replacement design brass with Viton O-rings about £25 a piece https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403762489769 ... p_homepage
But also spotted these on ebay that say they fit Z's at about £7.50 each (£11.50 a pair) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185077631327 ... AME_MODULE

The Keyster one's claim the O-rings are ethanol resistant.
No one wants a fuel leak

Anyone have experience of the non-genuine one's?

Here for the tee rubbers and look at their other items for the viton 'O' rings etc.
I've used them. They do the job..

The original tees do crack and you should replace them.

I have sold hundreds of the Keyster ones you have linked to and had zero issues. I import and sell Keyster kits and parts because they are quality parts made in Japan. I use them in carb refurbs I do when the customer doesn't want to use the OEM Tees and I also supply them to Z-Power.

Should you have an issue down the road you can replace the o-rings.

The OEM ones are the ones to get if you want originality. (I also stock those). But they do fail eventually.

You can purchase Keyster parts and other carb related items directly from my website (see link in my sig) and I offer a 10% discount to club members.

Thanks for the replies.

I've gone for the Keyster pattern one's with the viton seals from AVC.
(Ordered via ebay before I read the above reply)

Cheers. You've still purchased them from me anyway, so thanks.
