I have been rebuilding the rear brakes on my 71. New drums, shoes, springs, wheel cylinders, etc. All parts came from NAPA. The new hose from the frame to the rear end has a T. The problem is that the T is made for the fitting of a 1/4" line and the wheel cylinder is 3/16". The original line was a 3/16" with the diferent fittings on each end. The local parts houses don't have such a line. I can't be the first with this problem, what are the rest of you doing?
