Brain fade : brake line fittings question
What size fittings are used when spliting the brake lines?
I want to get what I need for my master cylinder swap. So what size plug for the "T block" and what size for the coupler or union, as well as any other fittings? I cant remeber..... Chief I know you can help

Re: Brain fade : brake line fittings question
Not sure what you are asking. If you are swapping out to a duel master you should be using a proportioning valve not a "T". The proportioning valve will have a place for 4 brake lines to attach. One for each wheel of the truck. You can either order this from one of the many aftermarket dealers or at your local parts store.

Re: Brain fade : brake line fittings question
I was going to just plug the t block that splits the front-rear brakes, and then tie the rear line into the porportioning valve via a union

Re: Brain fade : brake line fittings question
It depends on what size the brake lines are, 1/4 or 3/16.

Re: Brain fade : brake line fittings question
ok 3/16 . The union should be an inverted one right ?
