I had two of these let go last year and my black plastic valve that resides in that hard plastic tubing used to make up that spider like line, So I bought a new line assembly with black plastic valve from either eeuro or jim ellis, The red collar comes as part of an assembly plug P/N 55557389 it says on the bag. There are three in all, I replaced two of them and have a spare. I was unable to find other sources for these. SWEDECAR helped me out a bit on this.
Kind of a neat device for factory assembly, problem is once the whole plug is installed the little metal teeth dig into the aluminum casting and you cannot get the whole plug back out. there is a o-ring on the inside and one on the outside. Usually just the red retainer fails, but replacing those o-rings can be a challenge. I think SWEDECAR has done this but he must have the hands of a high end jeweler, I would drop it into the hole.
