Hello Again Fellow Listers, During my 68 2000 restoration, I took all
my original steel lines and raw replacements to a hydraulic line builder.
their work looked okay except for one end that they only finished a single
flare. I have been plagued by numerous brake line leaks. This even
happened at the front disc brakes where I had NOS cross over lines that I
had purchased from one of our vendors. Are there metric versus imperial
sized lines. The builder had my original lines and existing fittings so
they should have enough material to know which they were dealing with -
right? With flaring, is it possible that there is a difference in the angle
of the flared end - exp. 35 degrees vs 45 degrees? Is there a roadster
archive that discusses this in detail? I want to solve this before putting
the intake and exhaust manifolds back on. I would love to have that mystery
solved as it is making me crazy. I would love to hear that motor start
after six years. Larry.
