I am desperately needing T-joints for the front and rear brakes of my 34 Ford. I have 1/4" brake lines and need to join the wheel cylinders to the MC. I have searched Rockauto with all sorts of names and a couple OE numbers but to no avail. As I order everything else needed there it would be nice to just add two of these blocks to my next order. Finding this stuff in Europe or Germany is quite difficult. Thanks! Harty
You might try something like the kit available from Masterpower Brakes. I think you are refering to a 3/8" t fitting. https://www.mpbrakes.com/pc_product...15BD9F&catid=A7BA545D75D744D3828B88D15B703ADD Or this one from Earls available at Summit Racing https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-972050erl
You look up the part numbers needed on Edelmann's web sight; then use the number to search on RockAuto's and other web sights to find your best source.
Those are strangely not commonly available.... but here's some on Amazon... Amazon.com: The Stop Shop Inverted Flare Brake Line Union for 1/4" tube (7/16"-24 threads) (Pack of 5) : Automotive Here's some on eBay with the nuts and they ship overseas... 1/4 brake line, 7/16-24 Inverted Line Fittings & brass Unions, 12 pcs. | eBay Edelmann has a few gaps in their fittings, these are one of them. Dorman does show them, if you have a Dorman supplier over there.
Thanks guys - I will order at Rockauto. I found everything that I might need to run the whole system with 45 degr inverted flare. I have recently converted the front end to around 1965 F100 drums (11" x 2"). The MC is 15/16" and the rear drums are Chevy S10 with 7/8" diameter. Front WC are 1 1/16" but will be replaced with 1 1/8" to get a bit more bite. Hopefully this will result in a dependable drum brake system that allows to run the car a bit quicker than before and still be able to stop in time. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
3/16” doesn’t fit so well on those year of brake hose’s. Do you suggest more fittings are in order to make it work?
