The issue I'm having is that the bolt that goes thru the brass connector and connects to the flex line has slop and can move when all three connections are made. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance for any guidance here. I'm using the brass fitting and bolt that was on the truck when I bought it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 | Do you have the flat brass washers, grooved like a record? You need 2. One for each side of the block. If you don't the bolt will be too long.

They do not have to be grooved. http://www.classicparts.com/1941-66-Brake-Hose-Copper-Washer/productinfo/71-301/#.VJA7WidlVDENAPA and other parts-places sell soft copper/brass washers with different inner/outer diameters and thicknesses. They make the seal on both sides of the brass block, and they allow the bolt to seat properly. | | |
