Leon 'Bolter L Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 Grandview	I'm in the midst of replacing the brake lines on my 57 3100. I found I needed a way to clamp down a junction block. I was able to fab up a clamp out of some sheet metal I had. It turned out good enough I thought I share with you guys. pic Nothing like Denny's mad skills, but I was pretty pleased with myself. regards, Leon Last edited by Leon; 11/18/2012 11:48 AM.

I have one I will not be using as I am re-routing all brake lines due to my power assisted front disk brake conversion. 1952 Chevrolet 3100 In the Stovebolt Gallery More pics on Photobucket

But I seem to remember that, when I needed a 3/16" tee with a hole for mounting on my frame, I walked down the block to the Napa store. Otherwise, I know the usual racing places have them: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-972050erl http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gar-j9034 http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/63080/10002/-1?parentProductId=1403915 http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/KeywordSearchCmd?No=0&Ne=1 2 3 13 1147708 1500000+1500000&Ntt=inverted+tee&Ntk=all&langId=-1&storeId=10001&Jnar=0&N=0&catalogId=10002&Nty=0 I certainly won't pay the high price the racing places ask for so I use them mostly for manufacturer make and part numbers so my FLAPS can interchange for me. Those racing places get enough of my money. Mark 1951 Chevy Suburban In the Stovebolt Gallery Lots and LOTS of pictures Project Journal --- 10 pages worth!
