[Mg-t] Brake line fittings

[John Seim]

Touch them up lightly with a file.
The seal is what looks like an inverted funnel, to the double flare of the
tubing.
The steel tubing nut is there just to push the double flare against the
fitting.
Overtightening of the tube nut is what causes the tube nut end to mushroom.
