I am slowly looking over my stainless brakeline kit and yesterday I got the last adapters for AN-3 (3/16") to standard pipe threads. My question has to do with the front disk brakes which are mid-size GM caliphers on Dodge rotors from a TCI "Econo" kit. The fittings use a banjo ring threaded into the caliphers with a bolt with a "juice hole". As I see it you are supposed to put aluminum washers on either side of the banjo and "crush" them for a seal by tightening the bolt. I don't like this design and worry if it will leak later so I want to really crush the washers, BUT (!) I don't want to strip the threads, sooo does anyone know what torque I should use on the bolt or have the GM manual for mid-80s GM brakes that tell the torque? So far I have not found the torque setting in any manuals I have.
