    Question Brake T fitting....AGAIN!

    Hey was just looking over last weeks discussion on brake T fittings by Stranman and others.
    I was out trying to replace all my lines with stainless ones today and discovered that all my T fittings and connectors were missing from my pile of parts...Crap, dangit, nuts!
    I've sent some PM's to different ones about trying to find replacements but...
    (drumroll-please...) Is there some way to fabricate a T using modern/available components that will work? I'm using the vette m/c and hadn't planned on any proportioning valve either. My plan was to just hook up the fronts to the rear of the m/c and the backs to the front.
    Ughhh...things are exponentially more difficult when you don't know what you're doing to start with. hahahahaha

    I found THE perfect replacement for ours, including the brake pressure switch, at a motorcycle shop.

    It has 3 X 3/16's ports and a 1/8" NPT for the pressure switch. As I remember it was for a '54 Harley with a side-car. I had part numbers and links on the old site...

    Got the t-block on order from Drag Specialties, also did a search for a switch but could not find one. Does anyone make a hydraulicly actuated tailight switch?
