    You could try your local hardware store (and no, I don't mean B&Q - but a proper one).

    I found some that were moulded plastic in the shape of a "Y", with ridges (no sniggering at the back!) to grip the internal bore of the pipes.

    Can post up a photo if it helps.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Most bike shops should sell a Y piece, just remember that it's gotta be suitable for petrol usage so not all Y pieces will do
