Boost guage line fitting

I have Autometer guages. The little plastic boost guage line that goes into the Y, that is a ferrule fitting correct? The line is 1/8" in diameter so that makes it a ferrule fitting?

The reason I ask is because I was up on top looking things over and I broke off the boost line. Trying to re-attach has been impossible. I take it I need a new ferrule, the little brass piece that slides over the line.

Can I get these at Home Depot?

Yes you should be able to find it at Home depot or lowes. If not try a little local hardware store. I found them at the little hardware store in magnolia when I messed up one on my rear airbag lines on my f150.

Thanks guys. Mama is out trying to find the fitting. She went to Lowes and Home Depot, no go.

Should I send her to Autozone or O'Rielly next?

They said the smallest they had was 1/4".

The guy at Autozone said he didn't know what a ferrule fitting was.

I will try HD again later I guess. Wife says she grabbed associate and they looked. They were all in little plastic bags. Smallest they had was 1/4". Sometimes I hate this little town.

Yeah really. All I need is the little brass tube deal inside the fitting itself. What can that cost, .02?

I fixed the old one. Took a pin vise and a pair of small vise grips and really tiny drill bits and honed the ID until it fit over the hose again. Re-installed and it cinched right down. As I was climbing down off of the truck Mama pulled into the driveway with a package of five from Autozone.

Thanks for the replies.
