Hi everyone, had a general question about brake line tee fittings.

I have the LS1 brakes swapped in the front and working on LT1's for the rear on an 86' Camaro.

I was initially going to use the 3/16" brake lines with the bubble ends ( male ends) to go from my master cylinder to a tee to the calipers using the same type lines from my calipers. I have the Earls braided lines that go directly to the calipers, and from those ends i wanted to take the male brake lines. So i thought i would use a female Tee for all 3 male (bubble end) lines, but all i can find are the male Tee's (inverted flare).. Is there a reason for this? should i be switching my bubble end lines over to flared lines to use the inverted Tee?

This would make it so i would have to buy adapters for the master cylinder, and each end of the braided lines coming from the calipers. I cant find those female Tee's i guess it would be called a bubble flared tee right? ideas?

 

GM's funny like that, they usually change something on cars ever so slightly. The 3rd gens use a Metric bubble flare at the T line, the 4th gens use a Metric inverted flare at the same location, and BOTH use the bubble flare fitting at the caliper end of the axle hard line.

You can either flare your own lines and fittings, or buy 3rd gen / 4th gen specific lines for your application. You just need to be consistent and remember what lines and fittings you have where.

If you have any questions call me.

what exactly do you need in the Tee? just the 10mm bubble flare on all 3 sides? that is available, i can dig up the link if you want it, and i have one of those Tee's on the shelf in the garage too.
