REFLECTOR: Brake Fitting

[Keith Hallsten]

I bought some metric banjo bolts for the purpose.  Then I ordered the toe
brake kit, so that stuff is now "surplus".  If you want the banjo bolts or a
couple of the original clutch master cylinders, they're yours.  As I recall,
you need to procure some copper crush washers to seal the banjo bolts.

I know this has long since been a debate, but what is the general consensus
of the thread type in the brake master cylinders we get from Velocity?  And
what have people generally used to seal the threads if anything at all?

 

Now for confession. I thought I had mine measured and procured from a local
hydraulics shop, have installed it with both liquid Teflon and now with
Aviation Form-A-Gasket and I still can't get it sealed.  At this point any
suggestions are welcomed.

 

Thanks,
