hey guys, the master cylinder went in my 68 a while back and im just getting to fix it. when i took the old lines that go from the master cylinder to that little block they twisted and snapped ( as expected) but now i cant seem to find those fittings anywere. the only place i havent tried yet is a local 55' chevy car place that im hoping would have them. i even looked in the lmc and i couldnt find anything for the manual brakes it was all power brakes and the lines and all looked different. can anyone point me in the right direction to find the right lines and fittings. im kindof in a bind here because the 68 is now gonna be my daily so i need it ASAP and i cant find these fitting and line anywere. all the local auto parts stores were useless to me also.

thanks, Dalton..sorry for the rant kinda im just stressing about this a little

Check out any stores who sell Plews-Edelmann or Brakequip they have them or should. Check NAPA. If you can't get them contact us but it would be faster to try local

NAPA had all the fittings and adapters I could use.I found quite a few at Advance also.

^^^^ what Panel said. NAPA was the best place I found for fittings and adapters...... they aren't cheap, but you need confidence in those binders!
