Re: What is this ?
FYI, The compression fitting is not only unsafe within the brake line, it's illegal.

Re: What is this ?
There’s already two lines coming out of the block in front of the brake light switch.....I wonder what the line with the compression fitting is for.......Mark

Re: What is this ?
I think that the line with the compression fittings goes to something else other than the master cylinder. Hopefully the OP can tell us where it goes.

Re: What is this ?
Maybe like TJ suggested, it's just something not plumbed into the brakes at all. Maybe an oil filter or pressure gauge line taking the long way around?
