    HI all,

    What is the correct name for this car component?
    You often see them mounted on the bulkhead behind the brake master
    cylinder. They're kind of like a distribution point for brake fluid.
    They resemble a matchbox-sized steel block with brake lines going in
    and coming out to the various slave cylinders. Wot's the proper name
    for 'em?

    Cheers,

    Not sure. Some cars have something like you described - but rather
    bigger - to control the anti-lock braking.

    Bob Eager expressed precisely :

    I'd probably call them a Henley block!

    A brake manifold.

    I'd go with that
