rfcr Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 Hello All, I need a brake junction block for 1946 Plymouth P-15. Andy's said they don't carry them anymore, so I would like to know what year(s) can I look at for a replacement. Thanks, RFCR Quote
Tom Skinner Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 Try Vintage Power Wagons. www.vintagepowerwagons.com they may have them. Page 54 or 57 in their Brakes section on the 2011/2012 Catalog. Front axle and Rear Axle Brake Junction Box Tees Tom Huntersville NC Quote
rfcr Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Tom Skinner, Thanks but they don't have the squared one, only the one shaped like a "Y". Do you know if I can use another year and/or model? Edited August 25, 2014 by rfcr Quote
deathbound Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Can you "tweek" the hard lines a little to make the "Y" work? I had the square "T" style that had stripped threads, so I used the "Y" style. Check this out from an old thread of mine, end of post #86:http://p15-d24.com/topic/26625-new-front-disc-brakes-front-end-rebuild-steering-rebuild-for-the-38-plymouth/page-5 Edited August 25, 2014 by deathbound Quote
rfcr Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 I'll give it a day or so longer then I will have to decide. If either can be used no problem. Quote
Tom Skinner Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 I do not know of any other sources other than salvage yards. Tom Quote
rfcr Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Yea I know. I have checked the pull a parts around here and no 1946 anything and that's why I was asking about another year or make. Quote
Tom Skinner Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Type in 1946 desoto junction block on ebay. There is one there at $24.95 Quote
TodFitch Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Looking at my cross references I show a Wagner number. But that was from about 20 years ago and when I search for that Wagner number now all I come up with is my web site and this forum. Those brake tee fittings are pretty simple and if one could find a tool to make the seat for the inverted flare, it seems one could make their own. But I've never seen, or even heard of such a tool. Anyone who has some background in machining have a clue on how those holes are drilled, threaded and the seat made? Quote
_shel_ny Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Type in 1946 desoto junction block on ebay. There is one there at $24.95 That is a hose, metal line, metal line junction block with the hole for the axle vent bolt. Not really sure what OP needs. Block that has brake light switch ? Can install a mechanical brake light switch, and replace that type with a T from the parts store. Edited August 26, 2014 by shel_ny Quote
rfcr Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Just to clear up what I'm asking about, 1946 Plymouth P-15 Deluxe front brake junction block that the brakelight switch screws into. I have two messed up threads that squirt brake fluid when I try to bleed the brakes. I would like to know what other years and/or makes might work if I can not find the exact part. Quote
deathbound Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Is this what you're looking for:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-1937-1938-1939-1940-1941-Dodge-Plymouth-Chrysler-Brake-T-Switch-MoPaR-/111429804765?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19f1bbe2dd&vxp=mtr Quote
rfcr Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Nope, it's close but not the one I need. Thanks Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 post a pic to the one that is damaged..this would prevent a lot of guessing... I have this from a previous scrapped brake system.. 1 Quote
_shel_ny Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Pic from 1948 Dodge. I think Plym may be the same. Looking fwd from inside the area of the master cylinder. Quote
jcmiller Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 If I'm reading the parts list correctly, part # is 1119-410 and is same on all 1946-48 cars (all mopar divisions). Described as brake tube tee - left sidemember. Quote
desoto1939 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 I will try to look this number up in my Wagner parts book to see if there is wagner number that corresponds to the mopar number Rich HArtung desoto1939@aol.com Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 you know..we really ought to wait and see if he posts a picture of what part he is looking for..it could have been easily replaced over the years and he is looking for a part that may have been retro-fitted and maybe not even stock to this application... 1 Quote
desoto1939 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Ok if the part number that JCMILLER put in your post is 1119410 then the corresponding Wagner Part Number FC10593 The picture of the brake block will be the one in the upper left corner Part number FC10594 and has the A,B,C,D holes for the brakes lines Hope this is the one you are looking for.

_shel_ny Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 My D24 was the 10594- upper right with hole A for the brake light switch. Quote
rfcr Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Okay everyone. The brake junction block is the one on page 43 in the Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts catalog. I will check out the above threads next and get back to you. Thanks for all the advice and interest. RFCR Quote
rfcr Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Rich Hartung, I believe the one I need is part #10593 is the closest one I have seen. Where do I find the site? Quote
desoto1939 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Rich Hartung, I believe the one I need is part #10593 is the closest one I have seen. Where do I find the site? rfcr: The copy of the brake block page was taken from an older Wagner Brake catalog. So this is a reference catalog when looking for original parts and or replacement parts for our older cars. This does not mean that the parts are still avialable but this at least will provide you with a picture of the part and also a part number that you can use to get the possible part at a good auto parts store or even at a swap meet. I do know that NAPA stores have a lot of the old parts so if you go to a napa store with this number and picture then you might have a better chance of them finding and or locating the part in their general wharehouse. Also you could do a search on the Bay and ask do so searching on google for the part. This is the main reason why I collect older catalogs so that when looking for parts you have a cross reference to the various manaufacturers that supplied components to Mother MoPar. Would suggest that during your travels and going to swap meets look and purchase any good catalog that has information on parts about your car/truck. Knowledge is sooooo valuable and the good old guys that knew the ins and outs of these cars are not around and the young guys in the parts stores have no idea of what you are looking for since these parts are not in their computers. So get as much info and paper catalogs that you can since this information is being sent to the recycle companies. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote
rfcr Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 It seems that this topic has no easy replacement from another year or model. If in the near future someone comes across one of these please let me know, until then I will continue to search. Quote
