REFLECTOR: Nylaflow fittings

[Alex Balic]

Hey Brian, 
The amount of fluid that is actually "moved" through the lines is minute,
the brake pistons should only ride a couple of thousandths off of the disks,
so to move them to engage the disks does not take much fluid at all, the
hydraulics are there to transfer force rather than volume. Just remember,
the larger the line that you install, the more difficult it will be to
bleed, and more flex (expansion of the  line) will be present giving you a
softer pedal.

I did some taxi testing this weekend after fixing a toe-in and camber issue.

The problem I am having now is that my 1/8" brake lines are just not big
enough to transfer fluid without being sluggish.  It works, but is annoying.
I think it would work if the master cylinder didn't retract.

Anyway, I am going to eventually go to 1/4" line, but in the meantime want
to go back to nylaflow.  What are those compression fittings that work with
the 3/16 Nylaflow?
