    Default brakes again

    Do you have to use any kind of teflon tape or pipetite when installing a new propotioning valve? I just installed a new one and all the lines are tight but two of the lines are still leaking fluid.


    WTF!

    I have replace almost the entire braking system except for the hard lines and the booster. I just want to be able to drive my car without any issues!

    Did you cross thread them? It is easy to cross thread and tighten them down like normal.
