i bought the Russell ss brake lines but they dont directly bolt on. i bought a 10mm x1.0 fitting but it still leaks. does anyone one here know the correct fitting to use? if not could someone recommend some other brake lines that do directly bolt up. if i cant get these to work i might just return them and buy new ones

 

Let me get this straight...
You bought some brake lines that didn't fit so you jammed them on anyways???

well i didnt jam anything in ... when i got my lines it had a female connection on the end so there is no way in hell it would bolt in ... so i went to lordco and looked up male x male fittings. i got them to measure the thread pitch and eveything and there was one match. so i ordered it, picked it up the next day and installed it. with everything installed it still leaks. the problem lies in the type of tips the fittings have. only one side matches up ... kinda like this ... > > the other side is almost the opposite ... > < thats why they leak. my problem is i cant find a fitting that has both sides the same they all have a design like >||||> (i know its a bad example -.- i'lll post a pic of wat i mean) so im faced with either finding new fittings that work or trying to return them and get my money back (which i think is unlikely)
