REFLECTOR: What did you guys use on the threads on your brass brake fittings

[Reiff Lorenz]

I think I used Permatex #2 to install my brake fittings, but this may be an error on my part. I was doing some oil cooler fittings at the same time, and that called for Permatex #2. I am using NPT-AN fittings and Aeroquip hydraulic lines for my brakes instead of the brass fittings and 3/16 nylon tubes, so maybe this makes a difference.

Do I need to re-do them and use liquid Teflon (as I now see the manual calls for) or yellow Teflon tape or Loctite 567?

> Check out Loctite 565 and 567.  Also ask George @ Matco which he prefers as I can't seem to find that particular email.
