The brake line connection from the master cylinder into the ABS unit started leaking badly and so I removed the line. I discovered that whoever put the line in the last time only put a single flare on the end of the line. In addition, the person wrapped some type of material around the flare to so that nut would press down harder on the flare when tightening. I cut the end off and had a double flare put on it. When I reinstall the nut and flaring, however, it doesn't tighten enough to seal the line. I am sure that the nut is not cross threaded as it tightens down by hand several turns before needing a wrench to go the rest of the way. I am wondering if the nut on there was not the original but a replacement from another application and therefore doesn't seal like it should.
I have searched auto dealers, auto parts stores, etc trying to find a replacement line or an adapter that would go into the abs so that I can get this fixed. Does anybody have any recommendations.
