[TR] installing new SS brake lines

I've just installed the first tube of my new stainless steel braking system.
 It was an easy piece, (the left rear pipe), and already I have two questions:
The line does go inside the rear axle check strap, doesn't it??

Secondly, to aid in lubrication of the sealing surface so as to prevent
galling, I merely dipped the line and fitting in brake fluid.  Is this
alright?
When it comes to tightening a line into a brass fitting (such as the 5-way), I
think I'll coat it with a touch of anti-seize (where the line's flare is to
seat against the 5-way's seat.. does this make sense?

Lastly, the list may hate me, but I'm using just Dot 4 b.f.

Thanks, Paul Dorsey  60 TR3
