Default DSE Rack help

it's been awhile since I've updated this thread. The car is running and moving under its own power finally! Monday got a alignment done and started the exhaust.



Im dealing with a leaking 9/16-18 (hot side) fitting on the DSE rack. The fitting came with a Teflon washer, I've now been through three. I've tried copper, drain plug gasket and a O-ring. With the O-ring I used the Loctite 545 hydraulic sealant and without even starting the car as I was allowing time for it to set up it started to seep in about 15-20 minutes.

Anyone else have this problem? Any tips to get a good seal?

If anyone has pics of their DSE rack(any DSE rack) where the fittings thread in and can post a pic I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to see if the casting looks different.

Thanks
