I broke that plastic too, not knowing it's plastic...
I went to Napa and I got a 2 x 3 way connector
You connect the 2 3ways with another hose. The advantage is that there won't be so much tension in the hoses like you would use papa's link, which by all means is a good idea.
The 3 way comes without any nipple, you have to buy them separately from them. You need 5 3/8 hose barb fittings and the 6th connector is this, from summit racing
Summit is the only place I found such a tiny fitting that goes "normally" in the return little hose, without cutting the woven sleeve of the hose.
I end up cutting the plastic hose completely from the cp3 pump, and use a piece of 3/8 marine diesel hose, also from napa
The marine hose is thicker and more resistant. I clamped the hose on the neck of the cp3 fitting that's still on the pump, as part of the old plastic hose connection.
If you zoom the picture, you'll see the 2nd tee connector somewhere in the back. 2k miles and seems it's doing the job fine.
Whatever you decide on doing, good luck!
