	I need a couple of these to get around a few space constraints I'm having on my A, and my mates A I'm building for him. these things- www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Banjo-Union-Fitting-for-Triumph-TR2-TR3-1953-57-3-8-BSF-/330631385770?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cfb2a92aa but £25 each, wtf?! judging by the price of other similar unions id except them to be less than a fiver. I know a few other cars run them (minors for one), but dones anyone know of a source at a reasonable price? I don't even mind s/h as long as they're good and servicable. and not 25 quid!

	unf or bsf? the post says one, the ebay thing says another. Not that I can think of a place to get them off the top of my head. Get a metric one and tap it out?

	There's somethng similar fitted to our 400e pickup. IIRC, they're 3/8"UNF but can't remember where we got them from but do seem to recall they were about £12 ish each around 4 years ago. If you've got a decent lathe (and I know you're pretty handy ) then it's not the end of the world to spin some up out of bar stock. We've made many obsolete banjos over the years

	call off the search I managed to find a vehicle that uses em. theres absolutely no reason for it to do so as theres a good foot of space around the master cyl, but it does! I happen to have the factory workshop manual for said vehicle, and its definately 3/8"unf to 3/8" unf. very happy! and heres why it was needed-
