Nice quality fittings instead of brass?
Where do you guys get all your brake line T fittings and stuff like that. I know some of these high dollar cars are not just using brass T fittings.
I had to replumb the front line and we used a brass T fitting for the front line coming off the master splitting to both sides. I hate the brass fitting. I was hoping he had something alittle more show quality but he didn't.
We used basic 3/16" line with I believe 1/8" male nuts into the T. I want to redo it and make it look much nicer.
Any suggestions?

My brakes are done exclusively with AN fittings. I bent and flared all the hard line, and used standard aluminum AN tee and bulkhead fittings. No brass on mine.

I use(d) Earls 37degree AN fittings also. AN is IMO the most elegant solution to plumbing fluids. Not cheapest or easiest, but the fittings are designed to be serviced, light, and effective.

JIC fittings is what I use. AN is an over used term and fitting for cars. Just gives a good reason for the marketing department to charge three times the amount of money. There is no need for AN fluid fittings on a car unless its for appearance reasons. Mechanically, steel JIC fittings are just as good for a car. Just my opinion
