I dont understand this.....

I was at first talking about the hard line flare seating into the seat of the soft hose. That business with the valve grinding compound and the seat not being the right degree to accept the common 45flared end of the hard line ect.. Ect ect

I also don't have a parts catalog that includes the 1958 year, neither does tomj (I think he has some kind of part catalog that does include my year, but it's short, and doesn't have alot of part info, certainly not brakes hose washers, been there done that.)

The valve grinding compound altered hoses are on the car, waiting to be tested, I hope only one round of testing is needed, that would be nice, but untill the washers are inserted between the cyl and hose I'll wait. The inner diameter of those should be 3/8,i checked with the caliper tonight after work.

Also, your comment about needle point also made me laugh, as I have done needle point alot on my Jean jacket patches.... 

Here's a pic... The space channel was a great channel with lots of cool tv shows I used to watch while I was stoned after being graduated from highschool when I was 17, they took me and some other kids who didn't do good in school, skipped lots of class ect and gave us certain answers to the big test at the end of the year so we wouldn't come back next year. The space patch was my first attempt, never had done needle point before and it took me around 16 hours, and this work you see is the first try, no starting over or redo's. The stores that do embroidery wouldn't do the work because they were afraid of copyright issues so I had to make my own. The earth final conflict patch took around 7 hours, and I did that one on a train while travelling from Vancouver to Montreal in 2019.

After doing the tests with the machinist layout die and discovered the tip wasn't the issue that I was believing to be the reason why the soft lines were not sealing, I went back and resorted to the first set (first of three different soft lines) of soft lines I bought that had the proper flare seat machined into them and put the copper washer onto the end and tightened it into the wheel cyl, I wrenched it TIGHT. I wasn't sure if the size was right but when I had them on the line I could see it was a perfect fit! 

This morning before work I did the drivers side and wrenched it TIGHT and then it started getting easier to tighten it and my heart sank. 

I either stripped the threads on the end of the soft line or the threads in the wheel cyl.

I got so mad. 

I haven't gotten this mad because of working on the rambler in almost a year.

From now on, I'm never working on this car again unless I'm drinking. 

The soft line inserts into the new t jinction and seats on the seat. But the tip seats before all the threads are inside the t junction, leaving a large amount of unused threads outside the t junction.... 

the old t junction (that is ruined and not useable) is different, and has the exact same interface needs as the front wheel cyls.... The deep hole, and copper washer needed.
