Brake Line "T"'s

[Roy]

I have a Brass Tee and a silver one. Manual shows using 2 Brass Tee's
The silver Tee has 1 male thread. is this one for use with the front brakes and the regulator?

[phil1734]

Yes. The male end goes into an adapter, then into the output of the regulator. The two female ports then receive hard-line that goes to each front wheel.

I used the brass up front and the steel on in the rear.

Any particular reason you did it that way?

There's obviously no wrong way to run the lines as long as you get the front hooked to the fronts and rears to the rears, but you have a lot more going on with lines and mounting than what I have.

I do like running everything through the tunnel as you have. It's tight enough getting the shifter cables and coolant tubes under the rocker panel.

symmetry and neatness mostly, (the front of the firewall is really clean) and to keep the brake lines away from the hot coolant.

if I was forced to run an e-brake (hydraulic), it would be easier to add later as well.

I have quite a few pictures of the full routing if you check my build thread.

A few of us who didn't like the idea of SAE to Metric conversion fittings went with custom brake line setups. I bought some copper nickel brake line, an Eastwood Professional Brake Flare tool, and some metric tube nuts. This allowed me to make my lines the exact length needed, and using only metric fittings as needed. I am happy with the outcome, but it probably added another $300-$400 to the build.
