I haven’t put many km on my car since I did a 3000gt front brake swap. I used the volk metal craft kit which worked well, and got brand new calipers. I also bought the inner-wheel brake line from a vendor that came recommended on the forums for this swap. The line was fine for around 1000km, but when I was pushing the car today, I lost brake pressure. Upon inspection, the fitting connecting to the caliper is leaking. I installed the line properly and tight, and only stripped it today when I was trying to tighten it even more to see if it would fix the leak. Even with a bit more tightening, it still leaks!
If I understand correctly, the line fitting and the caliper have matching flares to keep them from leaking. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution? I sort-of destructively tried fixing this line, would anyone have reccomendations for a new line? This current one was insanely soft, hopefully something harder?
