I've installed a new brake mc in a 64TR4 and when I try to screw in the
fitting for the brake line into the mc, it will not thread, and I cannot
get it to no matter what angle, position I put it in.
I'm not totally clumsy, so I got the one I had just removed and tried to
screw the fitting into it, and it goes in with no problem. I went to the
parts store and got a bolt and nut with the correct threads and tried to
screw the bolt into the hole in the new mc, and it went in with really no
problem. I tried the screw into the old mc and it went in with no problem.
I then tried the nut on the bolt and it threaded ok, then tried the bolt on
the male fitting on the brake line and it had no problem.
If the old fitting goes into the old mc, and the bolt goes into both mc's
with no problem, and the nut goes on the bolt and the old fitting with no
problem, then why does the old fitting not thread up with the new mc?
Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a blister on my thumb from all my
attempts!
