Front brake line tee adapter question

I have a complete kit. Last night I ran the front brake lines. I have a long section of brake line that runs from from the passenger side front brake to the drivers side that should terminate with a Tee adapter. I have a very short brake line (about 8 inches) that goes from the drivers side brake to a Tee adapter. And I have a longer section to runs from one of the the master cylinders to the drivers side Tee adapter. So the 3 segments should be joined by a Tee adapter near the drivers side.

Now, from what I can tell, I need a Tee adapter with 3 females that acommodates the 3 male fittings on the drivers side. The only Tee adapter I have accomodates 2 females and 1 male.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Bruce

You need an Edelman #130333 or equivalent. It's a three way 3/16" inverted flare female fitting.

I took a trip to the local NAPA store and picked up the Edelman #130333 equivalent.

I always wonder if I screwed something up when I have extra parts or worse part that just doesn't fit or make sense for the application. Now if I could figure out why I have 8 CV boots for my IRS, I'd be all set. Maybe I have the 4 wheel drive option?

Thanks for all the replies.

I had the T with three females, and one with one male, two females. Had me confused as well as to where FFR expected us to use it. I also got a female/female connector, so maybe they expected us to use that on the T with the male fitting. Why I have no idea..:blink: Manual not to clear LOL

I to ended up getting another T with three females. One T I used on the front, the other I used on the back brakes, to run the hard line across the frame to the PS.

I suppose it could be done that way, although I don't know if I'd want the stress from the flex hose movement directly to my hard lines. Most use a transition adapter on a bracket, fastened to the 3/4" frame near the F panel, or using the F panel itself, as the base for it.
