Hello George,
Thank you for the picture, it is most helpful. After reviewing the picture you sent, the DeeMaxx Cross Fitting for Hydraulic Brake Hose - Brass - 3/16" Female Inverted Flares # DE34SR will work for your setup. Your 1959 Ford Thunderbird uses 3/16" hard brake lines with inverted flare fittings, and the fitting shown in the picture matches this design. The DeeMaxx fitting also uses 3/16" female inverted flares, which means it will connect properly to your existing brake lines. If you need one with just the 3 connections you will want the DeeMaxx Tee Fitting for Hydraulic Brake Hose - Brass - 3/16" Female Inverted Flares # DE54SR.
Sweet ride! Did you just get the Thunderbird and fixing it up, or had it for a while and just needs a repair?
