I am looking at putting a vac gauge in my 73 mini and I am struggling to find a T piece that is suitable to splice into the vac line from the dizzy to the manifold. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I got some 3mm vacuum hose from Halfords, slipped half an inch over the ends of the T, and push the smaller hard pipe into that.

You can plumb the gauge in to that line, however, it doesn't properly represent Manifold Vacuum and it's Ported (or should be) from the Carb, so, depending on the particular Carb you have, at Idle, you'll find the gauge will show low or no Vacuum.
Best to come off one of the Ports (that maybe plugged up) on the Manifold or if it has non, remove the Manifold, drill & tap one in to it.

Good point. Forgot about that, mine isn’t ported.
