[Healeys] brake switch

[BJ8 Healeys]

I always use Teflon tape on threaded fittings, in the brake system and
elsewhere, if not to prevent leaks then to prevent the fittings from seizing
the next time I want to take them apart.

Rich -

Never use any sort of sealant on your brake system anywhere.  The fittings
are compression fittings and they always seal by design, unless the fitting
is damaged.  If you have to use sealant/teflon tape, then you need to
replace our fittings because it's not safe.

Best,
