Thread: Trying to plumb my brake system?

Tweet

Hotrod46 did you attach that link? I missed it.

So it turns out I have a tap and die for this so I ran my fitting through it. As you can see by the discoloration, I was only able to get it half way up. So I pulled my caliper and took a couple of measurements. It's around 10 thousands thicker at the top of the thread. I guess it's not meant to fully seat. I also attached a pic to show how much I'm getting before it stops. Hope this is enough. It looks like hell but maybe I'll just start plumping and hope for the best? Won't know if it works until I'm done is the bummer.

Sorry, I guess it would work better if I included the link.
