More Brake queries

["Daniel" <daniel@seaport.net>]

I have a new brake M/C.  The brake line nut that comes into the M/C is
leaking; old and rusty.  Can I use some thing like plumber's tape on the
threads.  Better yet, how do I get a new nut on the flared(?) on the end of
the line?

Thanks in advance.
