More brake fluid leak woes. I tried to bleed the brakes & ended up with a puddle of brake fluid on the floor under the l/s either from the master cylinder or the proportioning valve or one of the lines to/from the valve. :(

69 Conv Quarter Window Frame bushing / roller
Mike65 replied to Joe Dozzo's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
aslanefe, when you make more of the quarter window roller bushings can you make me a set for both rear quarter windows? Mike. -

Yes it will fit. I did the same thing to my 69 Coupe.

Welcome back, Happy New Year to you too. Good to hear from you. You have to host the pictures on a different sit like Flickr, then copy & paste them here. That is what I do.

Today I topped off the master cylinder with brake fluid & did a few more pumps of the brake pedal & the connection still looks dry. Next up bleed the brakes.

Friday the temp outside was around 60° so I was out in the garage for a little while. I removed the hard brake line from the soft line going to the caliper & found what seemed to me like a little burr on the flare. I used some fine sandpaper on the burr until it felt smooth, installed the 3/16th" copper flare I bought, reinstalled the hard line & tightened the line up. pumped the brakes & so far it looks good. I will try it again today & report back.

When I was rebuilding the steering in my 69 Coupe I went to manual steering, I also replaced the stock idler arm with a roller idler arm from Opentracker Racing making a big difference in the steering. I can now steer it with one hand.
-
I ordered some of the copper flare gaskets for a 3/16th" line. When I receive them & the weather warms up, I will install one & see if it stops the leak.
-
What size would I need?
-
No, they are not supposed to be. When I ordered them, I ordered the standard lines. All the other connections are fine. How can I tell if they are in fact standard or stainless steel?

Vic, it is leaking where the hardline screws into the flex line going to the brake caliper. 100_2398 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr

Today I removed the r/s front fender & removed the headlight bucket so I could finish stripping off the old paint. Messed with the brake line again & it is still leaking. I do not know what else to do. Any suggestions? The brake lines are all new stock replacement lines, & new hoses the run from the hard line to the caliper.

I got the front valance & the stone guard completely stripped of paint & about 1/2 of the r/s headlight bucket/fender extension. 100_2397 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr 100_2396 by Michael Grentus, on Flickr
