Looks like a Perry? or similar. Made in Oz.
Does the Y piece slip off vertically?
They work OK, better suited to smallbore motors than a 1275 IMO.

Off topic but cant help comment on the Chineese parts.
I work at a Turbo and fuel company, we sell lots of chineese parts as some OEM stuff is way too expensive.
Most stuff is ok, but when you spend two 22 hour days overhauling a ship Turbo obviously in situ and the new casing leaks water as the casting is porus then that is a problem.

When they have a need to, then they can be the best in the world. Our 20 layer motherboard smartphones are after all made in China... They'll get better over time rest assured.

They can build quality but that costs. Wholesalers would rather order the cheapest stuff cos they dont think anybody will pay for a quality item.
