Gents, I just put a new MC into my '71B and both front and rear circuits are leaking. I can't tell if it is from the copper washers or from the lines into the MC. (1) Is it reasonable to assume that

This week it's time to replace both the front and rear brake lines and the clutch line on our 67B. The front ones are both cracked just below the top nut, so I might as well do it all. I need to repl

Why don't you gravity feed the old lines out and do the same with the new until you get decent flow, then call the wife in. Just a thought. Been there done that. Jim 78B deposit of sale in hand 70B

I found that I needed several sizes. I'm fairly certain I needed 3/8 and 7/16, and perhaps another, larger size for the old fittings. I have those Flare Nut wrenches, but I found that I could get rea

Use a regular open end wrench to determine what size wrench fits best. Then go buy the equivalent flare nut wrench. Check several fittings in case you might need two different sizes. I've never enco

Well sure that's fine. You're NOT trying to seal in brake fluid, just stopping air from being sucked past the threads when it's partially loosened. This IS NOT the same as trying to seal the pipe fro

What type of flare do the brake lines take on the MGB? I have heard mention of a bubble flare and a double flare, however I was under the impression that these are in fact different? Thanks Zach HotJ
