looking for a brake hose fitting/adapter

[rkneeshaw]

I found this post on explorerforums and it describes exactly what I'm looking for, but nobody had an answer so I thought I would post here:

A few years ago I got a set of brake lines from a local speed shop. I went to get another set and they don't remember carrying the adapter/fitting we need for a first gen X (drivers side). I'm been doing some looking and checked with both speed shops in town and neither can find or know what brand adpater I have.

I know the brake line and the blue adapter piece is made by earles (holley). Its the T like fitting at the top that connects to the two factory inverted flare fittings and the brake line that I can't find. The one I have almost looks factory. All I can find are brass square blocks and they are expensive and won't fit the same way.

I also need one for the passenger side except it would be a 90 degree fitting rather than a T, but it looks the same. Anyone know where these could be found?

I went to my local machine shop/parts place, you know the one that's been in business for fifty years? I described what I wanted and they went through the parts/pieces they had and I walked out 1/2 hour later with what I needed. It ended up costing ~C$20.00

The local parts store here seems to have some fittings that might work, but they're not quite like what is pictured. The nice thing about what is pictured is that it appears to use the stock clips to hold it in place and looks stock.

There's got to be someplace that sells these

It doesn't look stock but it works;

The brass fitting, an 8" steel line, a 50"? steel line that goes to the passenger side, and a flex line from an f-150 [don't remember year]. My original fitting was no good. I tied the flex line to the upper coil bucket with a spring so it wouldn't hit the tire.
Edit, I don't think C$20.00 got all the pieces.

I think I found it:

$20 each, ouch.

However it looks exactly like what I'm looking for. I could use one on the passenger side too, but would just plug off one side of this T fitting to make it a 90 degree fitting.

Can anyone confirm if the hardline ends are 3/8"? They might just thread right in for a perfect fit.....

yes the line ends are a 3/8-24 thread.

I reused the one that was attached to my original skyjacker stainless braided lines that failed on me. I now use that with the Raybestos lines in the tech library.
