Brake line, problem solved!
Well I was excited today to install my Mach 1 front brakes. All was good until it came time to bleed and when I pressed the pedal to pump up the brakes I found a leak on the passenger side where the new stainless line meets the hard line on the car... It went together easy (meaning not cross threaded), so I backed it out and screwed it back in again and tightened it really tight. Still a slow drip when I press the pedal... The worst part is that I havent started the car yet, so the drip is only going to be worse with the vacuum assist! Can thread sealer be used in this application? It seems to leak out around the threads, but I guess it might be from the inner mating surface. Heres a quick pic I snapped:
Any ideas on how to keep it from leaking? If nothing else, I guess I will have to throw the old brakes back on that side to see if it is the new stainless line, or if I screwed up the hard line somehow... Any ideas are greatly appreciated before I waste time swapping back to my old brakes for nothing...
