Who sells 40 series brake "T" fittings? (1 Viewer)

[alex e]

I seem to have lost one that was on my front axle, so I'm going to get a fresh pair for my new disc brake system. Anyone know who sells them and what the thread size is? I see two different ones at Summit, but they aren't metric.

Need some help here brake experts......THANKS!

Got mine for a 67 at spector off road. They only offered used parts, but they were definitely in usable condition. I can't recall the metric size but enterd the year and they fit. Also bought male ends and made my own replacement lines. These ends were new, not used.

So happens I gotta chase the threads on the front axle junction on my '81 FJ40. Thread on that is 10MM by 1.0MM. Don't know if that's common to all the 40s though ... That's from memory. Let me know (hit me with a PM) if you need me to double check/confirm. I still have to go buy the tap, so no problem.

Early 69 and before are 9mm. They switched to 10mm in September 69.

The one from Halt would be a direct fit, the Fed hill would require reflaring from inverted to bubble

FWIW, my 40 was built in October '69 and it has 9mm fittings.

Checked the website you linked to. What is an "inverted tee" and a "concave tee?"

 

[lcwizard]

inverted is the one you'd use but I don't believe they will have the 9mm. I'm sure there is a lot of used ones floating around since everyone upgrades to the 10mm

Alex -

I went by today and picked up one of those Brakequip T's and it works perfectly. I went to a shop in Ft. Worth and they only had one so they are ordering another one so I can stick it on the front axle.
