Hi Gang -

I purchased pre-formed stainless steel brake lines for my 58 Ply several
years ago. So now they're installed, but I seem to have a small amount of
leakage from the back of the nut, even though I've tightened the nuts as
much as possible. Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Additionally, I
wrapped the threads in teflon tape in case that was the problem.


I'm also having problems with getting a solid pedal. First time I step on
the pedal, it goes most of the way to the floor. Second time immediately
afterwards, pedal is somewhat hard. Third time, it is hard. If I don't step
on the pedal for a few seconds, we repeat the scenario. Brakes have been
bled many times already, with smooth stream coming out each time.


Any thoughts ? Should I replace the stainless lines with regular steel lines
? Drums have been pulled and wheel cyl's examined, looking for leakage
inside. There is none.


Any thoughts ?

Ron
