T for brakes

[496dart]

where can i buy a "T"  to combine my front  brake lines?  what size holes do i need?

Not sure what you're trying to do...but any store that carries aeroquip or similar fittings will have what you need.   DON"T use compression fittings..only double flares....

I would think most auto parts places would have  brake line tees in stock, they are a pretty common piece. I believe most Mopars have 3/16” line but if I were you I would measure the line on the car before heading out to the parts store. These cars are old now and who knows what a previous owner may have done.

Im just needing a t to combine my fronts--i havre  the summit prop valve now.

Aeroquip  fittings?  in Des moines  , Iowa ??  hahha........speed shops are LONG gone here.....I have to buy 90 % of my stuff from Summit .   

You should see the looks on the faces of the KIDS  at the local Oreilly/ Advance auto.......If im not ordering a Coffee can muffler or big wing for a Honda Civic..........they are dumbfounded. 
 A typical day :  The oreilly computer did NOT list a 440 as an option for a charger !  I had to explain there were thousands of 440's made from 67-78 .  The guy behind the counter didnt really care......or didnt believe me .   


I remember the old days when the parts store idiots only knew "camaro"  and "Nova"  and "350"  .  Now its Fart can muffler---3 foot wing---etc...

Find a NAPA and locate one of the old guys.  NAPA can get anything. -Jim ><>

Are you looking to go with AN fitting or just double flare standard brake lines? If it is just double flare you can get them anywhere. Typically they are 3/16" lines and a T should be available at O'Reilley or Napa. Not familiar with the Summit Prop valve size I would think they are 1/8" pipe and adapters to go from 1/8" pipe(or whatever size it is)to 3/16 double flare are also available at Napa, Oreilley etc.

Just standard brake lines-   -i will hit Napa on Tuesday.

OK--i get to put away my wallet ---- FINALLY !!!                 $$$

Just before i installed the Summit prop valve i decided to fire up the air compressor and blow air thru the lines to make sure...........  Low and behold.....NO air  coming out the rear brake lines........

So, somethings clogged somewhere.  I went ahead and took ALL of the crap off and ran air thru it.  I found the culprit .

The rubber line that goes to the little Y -block on the axle tube.  CLOGGED.     I assume brake fluid reacts with the rubber if its sitting for 15 years ??

I had to soak it and run a pick thru it several times before this big glob of TAR  shot out !

I never would of thought this was my problem .  well i guess its 2007....and clogging/corrosion happens over time.   


Oh ,  and i did take apart my prop valve and clean the crap out of it  ,

I would be very tempted to replace the rubber lines, if they were clogged.  Brake fluid is nasty stuff, and it will break down the rubber components over time.  I have had it occur on multiple occasions where the rubber line turns into a one way valve, brake fluid goes in when the pedal is pressed, but does not come back out, hence, locking up the caliper.

I have found a few parts like this at tractor repair shops and True Value stores. They sometimes have a cabinet of fittings. My first choice is NAPA, though.
