I'm plumbing brakes for another race car and I was wondering about the use of stainless steel compression tube fittings for coupling and teeing lines.
I've got two very difficult places to work in that will require me either to flare the line on the car, really hard to do, or use a compression tube fitting. I've used these things before when I worked at Dow Chemical and they'll hold a lot of pressure and didn't leak. But, I've not used them in brake work - any comments? I was thinking of using a 3/16" stainless steel tee, basically you cut your line off square, push it into the fitting, then tighten the hell out of the fitting which should make it leak tight.
