Does anyone know if you can purchase the brass "T" that hooks up to the rear cover plate so the brake lines can attach? I'm swapping out my 10 bolt and the connectors are different.

The "T" is part of the rear brake hose on my 1972 cars. Be aware that the bracket that holds the "T" is different for 12 bolts and 10 bolts.

Yes, sorry I didn't really explain it well, I need the bracket. Do you know where I can get one?

I found this on ebay. Is this the bracket? If so, I don't see how I can use my original brake lines. If the bracket bolts up to the 11:00 or 1:00 hole, on brake line will be too long the other too short. What am I missing? Thanks.

Thanks John, where do I mount this? I assume I use the "11:00" or "1:00" bolt hole in the rear plate (there really isn't a 12:00 bolt). Is this bracket offset enough from those holes to center the brass T for the brake lines? I've never seen a 12 bolt hook up so don't really know how it's installed. Thanks again.

yes it is offset...you use the 1:00 hole...see pic

Yes, the offset works to center the hose connection. It connects to the 1 o'clock bolt on the cover. I still have no idea what year 12-bolt you are working on and the hoses and brackets are different for 64-67 and 69-72 (not sure where 68 falls), but in general things hook up the same. The early set up uses a separate brass block and the hose and hard lines screw into it. The bracket actually connects to the end of the hose and a clip holds the hose end onto the bracket. On the later versions the brass block is part of the hose and the brass block is bolted to the bracket through a hole in the brass block.

Here's a photo of my '65 set up. Keep in mind I had to lengthen the bracket somewhat to accommodate the 1/2 inch thick rear cover but otherwise it fits like stock.

Thanks everyone, a picture is worth a thousand words.
