    I have a box with tons of fittings but can't find a specific tee that I need. I can't find them at the big stores (jegs, speedway, etc).

    Anyone have a site that has a ton of brake line fittings???

    I've used pipe male to female flare fittings from NAPA combined with hardware store fittings to get the right T fitting in the past. Or did they all come from Ace?

    I needed a tee 3/16 -1/4 and 1/4 the other day the NAPA guy put one together. This was for brake lines. NAPA is the place.

    try the closest hydraulic shop that sells parts. If I can't find exactly what I want I take 2 halves of the parts that will work and tig weld them together. I use .040 tungsten and turn down to about 25 amps

    Discount Hydraulics, in PA. I bought about 50$ worth of differetn brake fittings a long time ago, and still have quite a bit left. AND I've never been stuck with not being able to finish a job, I always have that odd fitting in stock!

    NAPA. They just point at the bins behind the counter, and let me do my thing. I write down my part numbers, and quan***ies, so they can ring me right up.
