1956 Olds vacuum check valve replacement

Have a 1956 S-88 that has a leaking vacuum check valve that connects between carb base, vacuum reservoir, and power brake booster. Fusick doesn't have a replacement and said that I'd have to adapt a check valve of some sort to replace it. Has anyone done this? If so, would you be willing to share what you did?

Thanks,
Keith

I bought one off ebay that I think was made for some model of Mercedes. If you find one that is the correct size for your vacuum line you should be good.

Oldcutlass and redoldsman thanks for the responses. I've been checking on ebay for something similar to the one redoldsman posted. Looks like I'll have to do some adapting.
