[Tigers] Dales Willwood calipers, master cylinder and NPT threads

[Larry Paulick]

Jeff, have you thought to call Dale?

There is also the issue of double flare vs bubble. 

Why would you want to use a sealant on a brake fitting.  The pressure 
can reach 1000 psi on a street car, and 1200-1400 psi on a race car.
