Steel T-Joint

Finally a great answer to the dreaded often stripped bleed screw or cracked plastic T-joint. One of the guys in the Alberta Land Rover Club posted this:

Interesting when you consider OEM hose set up is $100.

You want to know what costs more than $100?

When that stupid plastic union explodes at 80MPH with no warning on a Sunday afternoon and you have to get towed, and then have to hope and pray that you shut it down in time and didn't roast your engine.

My hoses are only 5 months old, and I'm going to order one of these.

I saw there was 1 left on eBay.
I definitely want to get one but not at this time. I got other imperative maintenance actions to take care of on the Disco.
