Hi everyone,
Here's an obscure question that hopefully some TR4 guru's can answer. On
my braking system, primarily the rear brake line components, I have a
connector system that seems somewhat funky and I need to know if it is
original and how to fix it. Here is the problem:
Where the steel brake line connects to the rubber brake line in the rear,
there appears to be a long nut(about 2 inches long) that basically serves
as a connector to both pieces. The problem is that when I re-install the
both pieces, fluid is being pushed out. If I turn the the nut to get a
better seal on one end, I lose the seal at the the other, and vise versa.
Am I missing something? Is this originally how these components are
attached or is it a DPO's brainstorm? I know I could get a longer nut
and solve this problem, but I dont want to add to the DPO syndrome.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alan Camhi
