Re: Brake fluid leaks

The issues I had when I just did total brake renewal on my 68 was I ordered prebent stainless lines and stainless fittings got everything in and a couple fittings leaked no matter what I did. Found out some stainless has a different flare angle degree and 4 of the fitting I ordered I’m guessing we’re the wrong degree not the 45 degree that is standard. Replaced those fittings with run of the mill brass fittings and blamo. Sealed system. Some of the junctions had to be loosened and thigtend a couple time to finally seal but the flare degree thing was a serious issue. Just destroyed the paint on drivers inner fender.
