    I've been wondering. Are you using ss tubing or ss mesh over rubber for your brake line

    Thanks

    I just snugged them down with a torque wrench. See the referenced file for the specs.

    what i have to do is atach the hoses to the fittings first, and then to the master cylinder, the hose-fitting joint is what concerns me as to use or not thread lock compound
