[T2] Is any "glue" needed for manifold to airbox junction tubes

[Bob Reuter]

I've never used anything but mine have always slide on without any gaps
would check and double check to make sure there is no old gasket or 
imperfection stuck somewhere.
  if not AFAIK they are still avaliable from bus depot and others and 
would just get a new set, they are relatively cheap as parts for these old 
things go.  if you can't find any I probably have a pair of lightly used 
ones in the garage (somewhere)

  good grief is she 14yrs out of college, dang getting old just like my bus

take care
Bob
