Re: Clutch hose threads... Posted by Frak [Email] (#1515) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Frak) on Thu, 23 Jul 2015 10:29:32 In Reply to: Re: Clutch hose threads..., Landjet [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:21:31 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Fair enough Landjet, and by your own admission there is something different about the new tip and you have a leak that you have never gone back to rectify.
I'm not being a smart Alec... I don't have a leak because reading your post encouraged me to ensure I was straight on and that I was able to hand tighten both ends all the way with teflon wrapped around the threads. I only used a wrench at best a quarter turn to snug 'em tight.
If you have any thread exposed it's not seated as you suspect. If you can't thread it in any further you probably didn't go on straight and hopefully it's not cross threaded.
I have pictures of old and new clutch hose installed ends and pictures of both of them with a measuring tool. Happy to post if someone can walk me through the process. It says something about a URL... ??
