I'm trying to replace all the brake lines on my Mk 2 Sprite but it is not going at well. I can't keep the flared connections from leaking. I redid the connection at the m/c to make sure it is fully round and what I think is a good size but when I apply low air pressure to the m/c I get a small amount of fluid coming up around the tubing in the fitting. I'm afraid to go super tight with my wrench but I have it very snug. The line from the m/c goes to the junction on the opposite wheel well and I have the other lines there disconnected and their holes plugged. Yesterday with all the lines connected I intended to bleed the system. I found that I had brake fluid leaking out at three of the wheels so I emptied the m/c and am trying to proceed with getting each section redone and tested. Since I have the leak at the m/c I am making no progress with my project. Does anybody out there have any good techniques that I can use to make a leak proof system?
