Listers,

I've just rebuilt my brake and clutch master cylinders.  The problem is
that, on reassembly and refill with brake fluid, I have a leak where the
pipe from the reservoir enters the clutch M/C.  It's fully tight but leaks
anyway.  My first theory is this: since the brake and clutch M/C's are
identical, I didn't bother remembering which was which.  Now I'm thinking
that I may have switched them, and that the thingie on the end of the pipe
and the M/C become a matched set over time.  Before I switch the M/C's I
wanted to run this by the list, and also ask, is there anything else I could
be doing wrong?  It's not cross-threaded.  Any ideas? Any thoughts on the
validity of my theory?  Thanks for your help!
