It depends on where you live. You'll have to find a shop that knows its stuff and carries pre-fabricated adapters.

Some shops make do with the elbow bend adapter that just clamps on with rubber and an O-ring, but, from experience, this isn't very stable, and hard bumps can knock it off. (had something like this on the old Sentra)

What you want is an adapter with a screw threaded through it into the carb, to hold it in place. There are some Simota pieces that do this:




(non-Simota)

But some shops make their own, sort of ghetto-looking versions.

You'll have to shop around to find the adaptor.

Don't know the local shops... pero kung Makati ka, you can do a sweep of Evangelista (EDSA southbound, right after Magallanes, between a Jollibee and McDo right after the interchange), lots of places there, and one is bound to have the adaptor.
