'53 - 8BA - Brake master connections

Car brakes. Other than engine its the only "stock" thing about this vehicle.

Looking for the banjo fitting + other required parts to connect the brake line + brake switch on the end of the stock single master cylinder. The pieces that were on the ORIGINAL MC sheared off when I attempted to remove them to replace the MC.

Not sure but I THINK it might have been a brake switch with long threads that used crush washers on both sides of the banjo to seal...brake line connected to side of the banjo.

Threads in the end of the MC are 1/2-20...the current connection setup is a bit of a hack job of brass fittings that doesn't quite keep air for getting into the system. So far the car has only been on the local side road for periodic test runs and brakes sufficiently well for there but not well enough that I'd feel comfortable on the highway...takes extra pumping.
 
C&G should have the banjo bolt and new crush washer.
The switch fits into the bolt head.

Thanks. Those should do nicely.

Eventually I'd like to convert to dual reservoir for the extra safety margin so front and back (ESPECIALLY the back given the alterations) have their own supply but that won't be for some time.
