39 juice brakes
 

I replaced all cylendars and all lines year ago. After some challenges the lines stopped weeping.

the master cylinder seems to weep around the plunger shaft Is there a collar/nut I need to tighten?

The rubber brake lines upfront seem to twist. Is there a slip fitting or is that normal? Asked before twist looks awkward

Same Olde 39’ single master cylinder ?
Or upgrade to new duel master cylinder ?

probably caused by the new junk rubber they make today

Lines are fixed. Some movement but they should not twist or rotate.

There is not a gland that can be tightened on the master cylinder. Replacement units are available and not mega expensive.
Front hoses: Tighten them into the wheel cylinders first and then make the connection at the chassis end. Ensure any twist is taken out as the chassis end is tightened.

Mart always seems to have the correct answer.
