Default need to make a rear brake line

Hey guys!
I put my new PM forward controls and my Diamond back rear brake line banjo bolt doesn't fit in the master cylinder + the cable is too short. The only brand of banjo bolts that fit are from Russells. I'm thinking of getting two cables of proper length that I can screw the Russells banjo bolts in. One to the rear caliper and one to the rear master cylinder. The problem is. I can't seem to find a tee fitting that I can screw my cables in while keeping the rear brake light switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

i used a steel automotiveline line from the mastercylinder to under the trans, to a t block from autozone with the brakeswitch ,then a braded line back to the caliper, is almost invisable and i have a rock solid pedal..

If you can get a J&P catalog, all the Russells stuff is laid out very well and you can figure out what you need in seconds. The same parts on their website is a jumbled mess. Basically you buy the fittings you need with AN-3 fittings and buy the hose in the length you need to go between them. Banjo's for the master cylinder and caliper and inverted flares for the T ....4 fittings 2 hoses. If you can figure out what length hose you need they could help on the phone.

Get me the lengths and I'll price it for you. I still like Magnum sterling chromites the best as they do not yellows over time. I had a russel line on my front brake and it looked like crap after about a year. Replaced with magnum and it still looks new.
