Dennis, 

The Pressure Regulator unit on my van is working fine, the problem is that
in having all the OEM brake lines, all rear drums, shoes, front rotors,
Girling Calipers, with new pads installed they found the Pressure Regulator
was very rusty.

So when the went to remove the brake line connections they could not as the
connectors on the Pressure Regulator were way to rusty. So they told me to
get a new one.

Any idea what type of T connector I need on the front and rear, I have gone
to busdepot, gowesty, van-café, vanagain and I do not see the part listed
anywhere...

Here's the list of what I was told was needed to finish the job:

1 Brake Pressure Regulator
 Vanagain Part #:251612501*** - $99 Vanagain.

Total of 4 - 2 inner/2 outer bearing for rotor (was told by mechanic)
 Vanagain Part #:
251405645B*- outer $12 each $24 pair
113517185C****** inner $14 each $28

2 grease seals for rotor
 Vanagain Part #: 251407641A****   (2) $3 each  $6

2 special nuts hold rotor in place
 Vanagain Part #: N201121***  $2.50 each $5

2 T Brake Line connectors for the front & 1 for the Rear (total of 3)
Part# No idea???? I think this should work.... Found this...
Classic Tube.com $9.95 each 3/16"

KL-3

20 ft Stainless Steel Tubing - $59.00

S

The pricing for the tubing seems expensive is it?
