thread sealer on hard brake line threads?
i am replacing all of my hard brake lines on my 2000 Z. should i use blue thread sealer on the threads to help prevent leaks? i didn't know how brake fluid reacted with thread sealer.

If you really wanted to be super-cautious (which I personally would not), you could use Loctite PST on the threads. It acts more like a thread lubricant to prevent thread "galling", and allows you to tighten the connection as best it can be tightened without messing uo the threads. Again, this is rarely done on brake lines...but it is an option. Just make sure to get the threads ONLY...don't get any on the flare seat area.
