brake fluid leak

[abram99768]

Hi DV and anyone else out there.
I am leaking brake fluid where the flexible brake line bolts up to the caliper.
I put the 2 copper washers on each side as directed. I have a feeling they sent me the wrong lines.
I was trying to post a couple of pictures but it restrict me to a size of 40kb.
at this point you can barely see the image.
can anybody tel me how to attach a photo which you could view!
thanks

Resize the picture to the size that will download and put it on your photos. When you click on the picture in your gallery it should open up just fine. If not you might be able to get Jamo Or Ron to resize it for you.

abram,
on the front page opf the main forum there is a "sticky" post about a windows rezizer that Ron gives a link for. Neat little program which allows you to very simply down size your pictures. Thge one little trick I found was that you have to use some type of windows program to use to actually get the program to work.

On the brake leak, my "guess" is you are simply using the wrong size/kind of washers? if you are using the washers that came with the hoses then you may indeed have a bad hose. ???

If you are using the oriental braided lines the copper washers are really hard,go an auto parts store and get replacement washers.Also,make shure the surface is clean(no paint),and use 1 washer on each side of block.I have found some of these hose kits with the blocks milled with faces far from parallel.
