#29476, "RE: Upper hardline fitting rounded off...size??" In response to In response to 15
Ok...now to get this all figured out. Here is the tangent that I somehow swerved way off onto.
I used a hardware store compression fitting or somethin to that sort. They didn't have anything in the 10mm x 1 size the ss line was originally threaded, but it got all stripped out trying to get it off the stock fitting anyways. I re-tapped them, put the new fitting on the hard line and re-flared it (single, unknowing of the double flare at the time), then put the ss line on. Of course this ghetto concoction of a fix still managed to leak.
So now I'm to the point of starting over. I want to drive my car this week...finally got it running great, and don't have any brakes I want to get new ss lines, same ones of course with one female and one male 10mm x 1 fittings. The fittings I had linked to were to go on the hardline just like a replacement of the factory ones that are all stripped beyond belief.
Does any of this makes sense now? I would like to order my new stuff first thing in the morning, and have my car on the road before the end of the week. TIA!
