Drum Brake Line Ideas

I have a 1962 F100 Flareside with drum brakes all around

So I recently replaced my master cylinder and 2 wheel cylinders. Thinking that was the end of my problems I put all the lines back together.. Soon all hell broke loose. Long story short I've had to cut out all my steel lines and Im going replace them all but I'm having trouble locating a similar "brake line distribution block" the little brass piece that has 3 outlets and 1 inlet that comes directly from the M. Cylinder.

My current idea is to run 3 brake line tees in substitution.

Here's my diagram


Logically this works but maybe there's something I'm forgetting.
Please feel free to share your input.

Not that this helps you, but you got some mad drawing skills.
Simple but clearly understandable.
I work with drawings all day long and let me tell you, some of them draftsmen, they don't have a clue.
