After Market Brake Fitting
Does anyone know if some else besides MidFifty sells this fitting?
1940-60 Ford F-100 Fitting Block, For Brake Switch On Master Cylinder - SY
They are on backorder at MidFifty and I can't find it anywhere else. I am adding a dual master cylinder and need this fitting for the brake light switch. This fitting is nice since it connects directly at the master cylinder port.
Thanks!

Lots of people sell them. Do a websearch on " 1/8" brass street Tee"

Perhaps I should define this tee. It is 1/4" inverted flare female x 1/4" inverted flare male x 1/8" NPT female. The male inverted flare goes into the master cylinder, the 1/8" female NPT is for the brake switch and the 1/4" inverted flare female is for the brake line. Not so easy to find. I have found 1/4" inverted flare female x 1/4" inverted flare female x 1/8" female NPT which will work but would prefer to hook up directly to the master cylinder instead of in the brake line itself. Less chance for leaks with less fittings.

<p>This might seem like a really obvious one, but have you checked your local hardware store? A big one with lots of brass fittings may have what you need. Or is your average brass from a hardware store too weak for brake line work?</p>
Edit: just realized this is a different fitting than I thought. Probably a little harder to find, but hardware store or NAPA is your best bet.

It is definitely a special fitting that I would only expect to find at a hot rod shop or one that specializes in old cars and trucks (such as MidFifty). I was just hoping someone else knew if another shop carried them as I looked at all the ones I am aware of and couldn't find one directly like this. Some would work but as the sayings goes they "were close but no cigar".
