please folks,i need your help once again,after a very long day of working on our 1954 pickup,we were trying to get our brake system working,we changed the master cyl,wheel cly,hoses,i myself did the 2 fronts and the right rear,my dad told me to take a break,he would install the left rear brake line, i say ok,now we are all ready to start bleeding the system,add the fluid,start pumping away at the pedal,then after 3 refills,my son yells out,grandpa theres all fluid pouring out the line he installed,so i run over to see whats going on,he had it completelty cross threaded,i said dad what did ya do,he tells me i could not see i did it by feel,ahhhhh,well anyway here is the problem,there is a fitting that mounts on the left rear wheel cylinder that is held on by a tapered bolt with a hole for the fluid to go threw,similar to the one that goes on the master cylinder,then the brake line then screws into that fitting,the fitting is shot,im i need of a new one,could you tell me where i might be able to buy one?i checked classic parts and lmc,any help,as always will be greatly appreciated,thanks again john

John,

Your post is very clear. Good job. However, it would have been easier to read if you Capitalized a few words (at the beginning of sentences, for example) and use periods at the end of sentences (your statements run into one another).

I think what you are looking for is on this page. Jim Carter probably also sells those brass blocks.

Good luck to you and your family. Let us know how the brake job works out.
