'Forking' a channel part created via Sweep

The initial part created via a sweep and im looking to create a fork in this part (where the example part is), so that there are no walls in the channels where the part would join…. that a marble could roll in any direction. (Couldn't think of a better way to describe) I can create a 'Y' junction at the top easy enough by splitting, but on the side I cant get my head around. I did try to remove the section via extrude - remove the negative space from the channels but that made a mess. Im sure there is a better way that I cant grasp… Thanks heaps

Ok. I created a new sketch on the flat end of the fork using some of the profile elements, extruded that sketch as a surface and used the surface to split the part the fork intersects with. The excess part can be discarded. Used a Move Face to clean up the gap - Scotty

Hello. This document has a part studio that has a method to 'correct' the joint and another part studio that uses a method to create the fork so that no correction is needed. Hope it helps. - Scotty
Thank you for having a look. Though I needed so that there is no wall here too:
