Re: Question about brake lines
center bolt looks like it might be a banjo....which they don't usually have...unusual for a brake line T
if it is, it does need copper washers... the lines are flared fittings, no washers needed

Re: Question about brake lines
Looks just like mine.
I replaced mine exactly like it came off. Whether it was right in the first place?? It works |

I could see that the large center bolt was a banjo style bolt so That's why I answered the way I did. I have never seen that setup either, that is why I asked about it. Thanks for the pictures CKfan. LockDoc

Re: Question about brake lines
If I remember correctly, it was one copper washer on each side of the block but I can't be sure. I already deleted my disassembly pictures

Re: Question about brake lines
I haven't ever seen that fitting on any truck! A union with a banjo bolt to the frame? Whats on the other side of the frame? Have a pic? A banjo bolt feeds something via a hole through the length of the bolt... What's on the other side?

Re: Question about brake lines
I have the same set up on my 70 k10. I am adding 72 front discs and the front flex brake lines will not connect to this. Anyone know if there is an adapter available?

Re: Question about brake lines
The holes in the frame are in a different spot on the 1971 I had that problem when I got a 1971 frame for my 1970 jimmy. Bought all new stainless steel brake lines for 1970 before I realized the holes in the frame.

Re: Question about brake lines
Thanks for the reply. Thought someone would make an adapter to join the two. In-line tube makes a front brake line kit for a 71. Might have to try that and drill a couple holes.

Re: Question about brake lines
I now wish I didn't do this, but I pulled the banjo apart because I noticed I had placed the nut that holds the D/S brake hose to the frame on the wrong side (outside instead of on inside where it goes). The clip goes on the outside which I did not have in place. If I get this back together without a leak I will be shocked!
Pictured is how the banjo is assembled properly. |

Re: Question about brake lines
Searched everywhere could not find an adapter. Ordered new brake lines. Probably a good idea to swap them all out anyways.

Re: Question about brake lines
-
It should have one on each side. They are actually copper. What are you connecting the "T" to? LockDoc

Re: Question about brake lines
I'm used to seeing washers on AN lines, not on lines with a double flare. Am I missing something?
