When doing my exhaust manifold project, I spotted a brake fluid leak in my front left hard line that goes from the proportioner valve manifold to the front right brake flex line. Tightening it did no good; only made it worse. It's a fairly new flex line. Does anyone have a C.42137 small brake line I can acquire? See below pic:

Thank you, Bill

Thanks. I've asked; he's looking.

 

My Mercedes mechanic says he can make up any brake line. I'm bringing it to him tomorrow to see.

 

Oh, ?// I could not make it out in the first picture. The second clarifies immensely. You said flex line in the post. The second picture is a hard line. Unless the fittings are some odd shae, the NAPA sh sells them in various lengths, made up.

Or just use the old fittings on a new line. I doubt that will work. The fitting is the issue. Worn seat or bore.

HF sells a decent tool to flare brake tubes. The better one, required here, does the double flare...

I hope all is well and the Benz tech makes up one that does not leak...
