convert brake line fittins to AN?

i have flared abrake line 3 times, replaced the the actual line itself and proportioning valve.
ive even had a master tech reflare me the line thinking it was me and yet it keeps leaking!
it leaks right where the line goes into the fitting. so im wondering if there is a AN adapter so i can run SS lines instead?

If it's leaking, you are doing something wrong.

Are you sure you are using the correct flare nut and flare angle?

There are AN fittings you can use to replace this. Check the catalog of your favourite AN fitting supplier. Probably not DOT legal.

Double flare, right?

Tube nut?
37-degree flare?
Most flaring tools are 45-degree...
AN flare is 37.

well here is the info. on the proportioning valve on top there are 2 lines, i removed abs and mazdatrix gives u a rubber hose to lope those two lines. the lines run across the firewall so i removed and just tried to run a "u" shape brake line instead.
