Default Cherokee Valve cover grommets?

I have an 89 Chero, 4.0 with metal valve cover. The dealer wants $50 for the
crankcase vent tube assembly.
Does anyone have a source for the 90 degree grommet?
I may just TIG weld an elbow opn and use straight oil hose.

I think www.4wd.com has it in their catalog; I didn't see it online (but
didn't look for long). $50, though, might not be that bad a price.

Look down the isles of the Kragen, Pep Boys, Auto Zone. will
probably save you the time of making one.

We do have one kragen in the county, no luck there or at the Napa stores.

OK, it looks like a case of "parts guy failure". I found it on the NApa
website as "air intake ventilation" hose. $20. Cool.Cheaper than my time
making one.
