Brake bulkhead fittings and locost brake fittings in general...
First off I'm looking for a locost supplier of brake fittings. I have male nuts, but things like tees seem to be about £6 each on ebay! Anyone
got any good suppliers?
Secondly I need some fittings to cross a bulkhead, ideally to clamp into thin steel and offer a connection on each side. Has anyone seen anything like
this which is acceptable for use on brakes?
Cheers

or you can use these....

Its a saloon car and I need to come up through the floor to bias valve and handbrake and then back down and would prefer not to need a second person
to hold the other side if I ever need to undo the lines.
Bottom ones pictured look good, just make the lines up with female nuts and clamp those in place with a halfnut?
Where did you get them?
