O.K., I think the leaks are healed up. Bought some good box end brakeline wrenches today, and was able to put some man size grunt on the leaking fittings. I bled the brakes, and got the missus to do the pedal pumping honours while I climbed around underneath fighting with bleed-screws. Momma makes a good wife, but a damn grumpy mechanics helper. I go thru this every time I build a car---plumb the lines, fix the leaks, p___ off the wife by getting her to help pump the pedal. Bleeding brakes is one of the few things that you absolutely cannot do without a helper. There was so much mess on the floor that I sprinkled everything with floor-dry and quit for the night. Tomorrow night I will sweep up the floor dry, and watch for fresh drips on the concrete floor---not very scientific, but it does it for me. I will probably bleed the brakes a couple of more times between now and road time. The pedal is still spongy, but Momma's ugly quotient is directly related to how long I keep her out in the garage. I know that pumping the brakes supposedly aerates the fluid, but when you have the luxury of not immediately having to drive the car, any bubbles created will "settle out" in a week or so, and can be gotten rid of with the next bleed. I know that Summit has some neat check valve bleed screws, but when you only build one car every 10 or 12 years, its not a justifiable expense.
