Any suggestions where I can get an authentic piece?
Thanks, oj

Jim Carter and Chevs of the 40s have some of those brass blocks.'

Anybody else?
For those interested, these master cylinders were used to lateish mid-50's. The fitting on the master cylinder accepts a banjo bolt, it is not doubleflare - this is how you get it out of the box. My original fitting replaced the provided fitting but it stripped when tightening the front brake line. I can use the provided fitting but I need the parts to make it work. It would be a banjo bolt with a distribution block for the front and rear brake lines.

I would imagine they could either tap it or come up with an adapter. It may not be original, but in the 50's and 60's I am sure there were some unique repairs as well.
Love the classics!
