Brake line fitting

I am looking for a bubble flare male union that is M10x1.0. I have searched high and low without success. Any ideas?

BFY Obsolete has a "2 way" fitting. No picture, so I'm not sure if it's straight through or at 90 degrees. http://www.bfyobsoleteparts.com/brake-line-t-fitting-pr-1198.html

I ordered up a couple T fittings a couple weeks back but it hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment on the quality.

I'm a bit confused. You want to join 2 10mm bubble flare females together? If so, why not just use the short (8 inch) metric bubble flare line?
If you're trying to join 2 male lines together, Weatherhead part number 7975 or NAPA 641-5020 will work.

I was trying to join two female hose ends together. I did not want to use a section of hard line.

The longer hoses that I bought came with two female ends instead of one male and one female. My idea was to just use an M10X1.0 male bubble flare union. No such luck. I just had American Hose and Fitting in Kent build me two new hoses. Cost, $118!!!! Ouch!!!

You REALLY need to come visit. Fuck me, $118.

Per side:

straight -3 reusable end maybe 8 bucks x 2
M10 x -3 maybe $4.
-3 tube nut 69 cents x 1
-3 bulkhead fitting $3 to $8 x 1

bulk hose 4 buck/ft

First time cost per hose 24 to 30 bucks

REPLACEMENT COST= $4

Youse guys gotta stop throwing money away.
