Should i be worried about the front brake lines not screwing in all the way?
cant remember how far the old ones went in.. i know they are the correct lines, but it seems weird..
anyone know? thanks

the end of the fitting on the hose is cut on a V shape...and the hole in the wheel cylinder also has a V shape on the bottom...where these 2 V's wedge into each other is where the sealing takes place and the amount of thread exposed has nothing to do with it....same with the bleeder

Flare fitting - the flares make the seal; not meant to screw in "all the way".

Here’s some work I’ve done lately.
