Banjo type vacuum fitting on a 5"Girling servo

I am just about done rebuilding a crusty old servo I picked up on the web. Everything so far has gone well with the refit kit from Sunbeam Specialties and an excellent tutorial rebuild video available on youtube. I am trying to be meticulous about cleaning all the parts in the system and was working to clean out the vacuum fitting and discovered I am getting zero air flow through it . I am assuming it is a check valve type as is common. I can't find an original equipment replacement part anywhere, even trolled some UK parts sites. Is there a reasonable replacement part for this fitting? One alternative I suppose is to drill the original part through and then add a check valve downstream in the vacuum line. Any thoughts or help on this would be appreciated you Beamers!

The hoses are notorious for collapsing inside, the system does not have a check valve. drill the goo out of your fitting and clean it. Be sure to use vacuum hose when reinstalling.
