Master Cylinder 444-544 1963

Hope some of you can help here. I have a '63 PV544 (B18) with the original master cylinder which I had resleevd a few years ago. I have the original brake lines on the car and was comtemplating changing the steel brake lines themselves; I changed the rubber hoses when I resleeved the master cylinder. I have been getting leaks around the master which is why I'm thinking replace all the old metal lines.

Apparently the lines are available, however, there is a "branch union" that attaches to the master cylinder which is held to the master with a threaded bolt. This union has three outlets - one for the left front brake line, one for the rear brake line, and one for the right front brake line. The union itself is not threaded. The bolt that holds the union to the rest of the master cylinder also accepts the threaded brake light switch. The branch union is made of a soft metal, possibly brass?. I need this branch union because I sheared off one of the three outlets; the one for the left front brake line.

Would anyone know where I could get one of these unions or if it can be repaired (brass welding?). Swedish Classics does not have this part. It doesn't pay for me to change the lines if I have no place to connect them! Thanks for any help.
