Problems finding Brake line T

Why is it so hard for me to find a brake line T for my new front lines?
I went to several local places, none had it. Ordered it off of Summit, they sent the wrong part (again).

The line is 1/4 inch with 7/16 thread. From Summit online the part said 7/16", but when I got it, it said 1/4". The compression nut did thread (it wasn't a T they sent). So should I order the part using the line diameter or the thread diameter?

Thanks

Not sure on yours but our 61 has 3/16 all three ports on ours. Here in NY we cant use compression fitting for brake lines.

I picked mine up from local hardware store. Stainless t fitting. Also had them in brass.
