I am using a brake hose with 3/8-24 inverted female threads and can`t find an adapter to the female T- block also with 3/8-24 inverted thread. Any ideas? Thanks
 
Mount the hose to the frame mount, locate the T a little distance away, and make a short brake line to connect them.
 
If I understand you correctly, I bought the fittings from Amazon. They had any kind you need . Be careful as it can get tricky. My T fitting was pipe to inverted flare .
 
Thanks to all. Amazon did show the fitting which turns out to be Speedway Motors. Probably about 28.00 with freight. It was only 11.00 but they want 13.99 frt plus the tax. Thats robbery. The cheap is to go with a double inverted flare short tube as rich b mentioned. Just not as neat. I am waiting for quote on custom made hoses from inline tube. I still can`t believe that a T-block with the 3/8-24 Inverted flare snout isn`t made for the common female brake hose ends. The early Fords had it, but it was 1/4 (not 3/16) and the snout was on the hose end.
 
This is also a fitting used on the early Fords utilizing banjo bolts and copper washers for sealing.
