Default Junction box to brake. Please help!

Hello,
My family owns a 2001 Dodge Durango and a few days ago the break lines broke. They have been replaced however this piece I'm not sure what it's called some people I've spoken to said it's a junction box, anyway that piece is leaking because an auto shop sold us screws where the tread was too big and it might have broken there. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is called a junction box, and if it is I was told that it has since been discontinued so does anyone know an alternative for that or really anything to help. Below is a sample picture where I circled the part in white.

Probably a proportioning valve. Check on Rock Auto.com, or a parts store could carry them as well. It's probably been discontinued by the manufacturer, but there are aftermarket solutions available, if it is indeed the proportioning valve.

Thank you this is the piece, the first picture is the front that you see when you take the drivers side wheel out. The second is the back of it.

Thats not the proportioning valve in the photos. It looks like just a pair of junction blocks, just fancy connectors.

Got a flaring tool? Are there only two ports on each block? If so, just get some unions, and make a couple short lines to replace them.
