    Alternate Junkyard Source for Rear Brass Brake Line T-Fitting

    I've grabbed some of these from junked e30's in the past, but seem to have given them all away now when I need one. Was planning to make a junkyard visit in a couple weeks, and have this on my shopping list, but it's rare to find a junked e30 any more. Do any other later cars also use this fitting? I think anything with ABS would be a "no" since each corner is plumbed all the way back to the ABS unit.

    I ordered mine new, I'm not sure I would ever reuse brake line components.
    If your e30 runs bad, switch to Megasquirt first. Then try new spark plugs, cap and rotor, wires, oxygen sensor, crank shaft position sensor, coolant temp sensor, air flow meter, idle control valve, throttle position sensor, digital motor electronics unit, harmonic balancer, fuel injectors, engine harness...

    I appreciate the concern, but it's not like it's a TTY fastener. You could tighten (not OVER tighten) a line into one of these fittings 100 times and it would be fine.

    For the less than $7 that I can buy a new one for, I can't imagine spending the time it would take to pull one out of a car in a yard.

    Unscrew the bolt and then clip, clip, clip. I'd have it out in 3 minutes if taking my time. Hopefully it goes without saying, I wouldn't be driving there just for this.
