Trouble installing new SS brake lines
I have the LAPD-Goodridge SS brake lines. (LAPD-GOODRIDGE92206)
When I try to mate the brake line to the line on the car it will only hand tighten 1 revolution. The originals I can tighten severl revs. I am sure I have them mated square. I've tried over and over to make sure I've got them square. Just makes no sense to me. As much as I have tried, they will not screw in like I think they should. I can take the old rubber brake line and screw them into the new SS fitting just fine.
Those that have done this before, any thoughts?
I track the car or I would give up now.
Thanks,
John

I did try several. That's what is strange. I'm going to take a break and work on the other tasks. I pulled the radiator and am working on getting all the oil dry out of the AC condenser and radiator. New rotors and pads, and then I'll come back to this.

Maybe they sent the wrong part. I had this happen with my Wilwoods.
Try the stock one's againg and make sure that the screw down correctly and that uou have not cross threaded any of the fittings.
