I have just completed (or at least reassembled) a complete brake and suspension
renewal on my 76 TR6. Now I'm sorting out the odds and ends. One of those
items is a pesky little brake fluid leak at the left front caliper where the
brake pipe screws into the caliper. The caliper is a freshly rebuilt unit
from Apple and the brake pipe is brand new also (TRF). I've tightened the
pipe as tight as I dare (for fear of stripping or breaking something) but it is
still seeping a tiny amount of brake fluid around the threads of the brake pipe
where it screws into the caliper. I am using DOT 4 brake fluid. Any thoughts
or suggestions? I'm stumped. The few other leaks I found, I was able to stop
by just tightening down the fittings a little more. This one doesn't seem to
be responding.
Thanks, Greg H
