Any thoughts on repairing this?

T piece stuck on the valve,
Do you know what the valve does? I'm wondering whether you could either get rid of the valve, or replace it with a separate valve that does the same thing (whatever that is). Is it just a restrictor to protect the gauge from pulse in the air line, or more to it than that?If you can do without the valve bit something like this and a couple of these should sort you, oh and some small hose clips.
You need to disassemble what you have to work out thread size and hose bore diameter.
bit more thought and searching and I've no doubt the valve thing, if necessary, could be retained in some way
Alternatively throw it away and join something like this onto the hose?

It's a Porsche part so expensive to replace like for like, hence thinking about repairing.
A straight coupler would work doing away with the pressure gauge.
Really? It looks like some of the cheapest Chinese tat that rocks up masquerading as quality kit. Shame on Porsche....A straight coupler would work doing away with the pressure gauge.
