Default Breather hose connection

Hi all. Does anyone know a source or part number for the push pull clip under the VIS motor where the breather hose fits? I have a 'T' new hose but have discovered that the red collar it pushes into has lost all its tabs! It is of course bigger than the ones on the upper inlet manifold, of which I have several!

I got a replacement from Rimmers
Careful, there is more than one size. (Don't ask me how I found that out!)
The proper one is also used to mount the dipstick tube on the KV6 and the MGF K4.

Only when you are not trying to remove them - when cleaning my cam covers, I washed first and then blew clean with compressed air, one of the inserts decided to fly and I spent a good few minutes searching in the grass before I found it.

the centre coloured collar comes out easy enough but if you want to replace the whole thing (mounting base) there wedged in with a star type washer.

One thing to watch for...The new fitting comes with a shipping plug inserted. I thought that I had received the wrong size.....Again!
Fortunately I gave a tug on the plug (oo-er!) and it came out.

Where do you get the yellow one's from (and is there an MGR part number or is it only a trade item)?
