Brake System light revisited
I got stainless lines from Fine Lines. I did this on one of my other Darts several years ago and had no sealing problems at all. There were 2 fittings this time that just did not want to seal. loose tighten loosen tighten loosen tighten check loosen tighten loosen tighten loosen tighten check... the one that gave me the most grief was the fitting between two blocks at the distribution valve. I finally called Fine lines and he asked me how many times I loosened and tightened the line and I told him a dozen and he suggested that I do it another 12 times. He explained that the flares on the stainless were MUCH harder that original mild steel lines. After another dozen tries, I called them again and they were happy to send that 18 inch line to me in mild steel for free. After 2 or 3 tries it sealed right up.
Eye candy (my wife actually picked the color and I'm really glad she did)
