T-block part number, where to buy ?
Went from a rear end with drum brakes to a complete LS1 rear end from a '99 Z28. What I need now, besides making the E-brakes to work, is a part number and/or information as to where I can get a T-block, for connecting the stock brake line to the two lines from the rear axle.
Anyone ?
I don't suppose one can get a T-block at Home Depot or Lowe's ?

Re: T-block part number, where to buy ?
I think this has been covered before, but I'll take a stab at it.
The stock rubber line from the body to the rear will work perfectly. You just have to do a little work to make the lines fit. The right metal disk brake line fits the t-fitting perfectly. Screws right in. The left side has a fitting that's too large, but the tubing is the correct size. You need the tube nut off the drum brake line to put onto the right brake line. Cut if off the old drum brake line where it goes into the t-fitting, or go to the junk yard and cut one off. I got an old rubber line and a couple of fittings so I could have it all set up and done and not have to deal with that when swapping the brakes. I also made my own custom braided brake lines. Was really easy. There is a pic of my brake lines in the thread I've linked to below.
To modify the metal line you need to borrow/rent/buy a metric bubble flaring tool. CSK stores rents them, they work great. Below are pics of how I did this. A little gentle bending of the brake lines along with a tubing cutter and the flaring tool and your in business.
