that is the root of your problem...
reg lines use a 45 degree flare for the seat
stainless has a 37 degree flare




I guess the $20 question is why in the heck would they have different angles? There is a rational reason?

The 37 is for the aircraft industry, the 45 is automotive....has to do with cracking. Tim

So, they are selling the wrong fittings as brake lines. They have no fears of liability issues? Amazing!

The used parts already have the imprint of the old line flares. If the brass parts are new they will seal. I had to call the brake line company about that one myself. Replaced the block and inserts in the m/c and it sealed up.
