So I started to hear a large air "hiss" from under the hood of the M35a3.
Took forever to isolate the air leak but I final tracked it down to a blown air line on the upper section of the Cat 3116 engine.

So I remove the damaged section of the line - it blew right outside the connector into the engine.
What I need some info about is the brass portion of the connector that slides over the line to create the seal for the connection.

The brass adapter looks like it slides over the air line - not sure if its crimped to create the seal once inserted into the connection.

Would appreciate if I could get some suggestions on where to find the brass fittings or if I need anything special to install on the air line.
The assistance is appreciated.
