Instead of your standard AN804 T+Bulkhead fitting I went and got myself a fancy Summit Racing Y-fitting. Two things: now I'll have to bend the attach tab down a bit which shouldn't be a problem, and since it's not a bulkhead fitting I need to find a way to secure it to the tab. When the nut, sleeve, and tube are attached there's maybe 1/16" of play between the fitting and the tab.
Any thoughts about how to go about this? I'm thinking possibly a rubber washer between the nut and tab, or perhaps letting the Y fitting hang free behind the tab and holding the outlet tube with some kind of grommet in the tab? With the washer I'm concerned about affecting the snugness of the flare, but I guess if it's not good you'll know right away so...
