The crack I had form is not at the carb side, but rather the bottom of the
"T" where the soft fuel line clamps to.

I think a lot of people may be re-assembling their carbs after a rebuild 
without paying close attention to the alignment of the inlet pipes.  Gasket

and spacer positioning, plus tightening, can make a big difference in the 
stress placed on the T.
