You are better off using spacers. That bevel helps seal it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bevel helps seal it It’s not really beveled in a way that works with an -an fitting, I’m not even sure the bevel is there to aid with sealing because stock was sealed with crush washers & the banjo bolts that thread into that dont have a bevel on them to my knowledge either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked for pics, said they have a fitting with a rubber oring that rests against the flange thing in my photos above (Flange in the threaded portion) cant wait for that to spring a high psi leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Banana Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Also, is that an aluminum fitting on the high pressure line? I wouldn't trust if so, even if it did fit. I've seen aluminum fittings fail in that application. Steel all the way for high-pressure hydraulic lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 theyve been selling it for years. if there were some great amount of failures, shoudnt we have heard about it by now? i think they use some aluminum fittings for the brake stuff, even. cant muck about with brakes with inferior stuffs and not have a lawsuit.

Waiting for the right stuff to show up. I'm not even offended my terrible joke didn't go over. It made me laugh and that's all it needed to do.

Yeah, very valid point. I guess I'm just used to not having kits available for things so I'm looking at tried and true patterns that OEs abide by, and tend toward overbuilding things to avoid hassles. A friend had a high pressure PS line fail a couple years back after I warned about using garden variety AN fittings and hose on it, rather than high pressure stuff suited to the application. After looking at the chase bays high pressure hose for my own curiosity, it looks like they are using crimped fittings (which are much more important for higher pressure) and thicker wall 90s, rather than the thinner tube stuff you commonly see for fuel line and the like. Like you said, probably okay given that they've had the product out there, just wouldn't be the material I'd choose if assembling from scratch (which is irrelevant to this conversation 🤐).

Got everything buttoned up, so far I don’t see any leaks after bleeding/idling in the garage. I’ll need to go drive it around a bunch to confirm.

KaiserRolls Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Also 2/4 of the wheels showed up, figured out a few different spacer sizes that should work depending on how wide the rt660s actually run. My assumption is quite wide based on some pics I’ve seen Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Sold the RE71/K1s, replacements showed up today 225/45/15 Falken RT660 plan is to slap them on these: konig hypergram 15x8.5 it’s about the only lightweight 8.5” wide wheel I could find that didn’t have bacon fender inducing offset. Ordering up some spacers later today.

HipMF Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Haven't really been following the 200 treadwear battle, but I'm sure it's still fierce. What made you decide to go with the Falkens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
