Line Lock Leaking I installed my Hurst line lock this week, wired it up yesterday, and today i'm bleeding my brakes. For some reason, the pre-bent line from Thunder racing is leaking at the M/C. The fitting looks ok, no stripped threads, and the others don't leak.
So i installed the stock line back to the ABS, to make sure i didn't mess up the M/C and it doesn't leak. Pumped the brake a few times, and it comes out in the bottle at the wheel.
What's going here???
I'm SOOO close to having this thing done!!
TIA!!!

I thought you were never suppose to use thread sealer on brake line fittings, so i didn't.
But i think i know what i did wrong. I fitted the line to the solenoid first, which caused too much stress on the first two threads on the fitting going to the M/C.
If i can't get a new one locally, i'll have to break down an call Thunder racing.
Man, this sucks.
I got rubber i need to burn.

Yeah, till later on when you have to fix the **** you broke...
It's kinda funny really, it's always the simple jobs that turn into the clusterfucks!
Thanks for your "help" Flawless! Good luck at the dyno today!!
The good news is that i didn't mess up the M/C and thunder said they would sell me just the lines for cheap, so i can hold off on smashing ****.
for now.
