Looking at redoing my brake lines on my 69 Cutlass S. On the 69 there is a point where the hard line connects with a soft line at the rear cross member. Then this flexable line T's at the axle. The T junction actually bolts to the axle. So in replacing this flexable T section any suggestions. I checked Fusicks and they have the T junction but it doesn't have the option to bolt down. I can replace the T and Cut the Bolt loop of the old and weld to the new but wanted to see what others have done.

 

I don't recommend welding the T piece, the heat might distort the threads giving you a mystery leak.

Unless you want complete originality I think you can buy a generic T piece with a bolt hole at a good auto parts store.

thanks. I got ahold of advanced auto parts and they actually could get the piece. i was kinda amazed due to typically auto part stores now a days can't get parts for older cars.

 

It's not exclusively for the 'older' cars - just the same part all these years for rear-drive GM's!

 

The correct flex liine will have a t-terminal swaged onto the hose. There will be a bolt hole plus two brake line female fittings. One such line is F79997 or Centric 150.62387.

 

Thanks guys. It wasn't to cold this past weekend so i was able to get the part and get about half of the brake lines ran. Now waiting on the brackets and perportioning valve from the junk yard and i can finish out the brakes.
