I'm getting conflicting info about what material should be used, how tight it should be and weather or not to use high pressure hydraulic thread sealant (Loctite 545).
I think the rack is made for an ORB fitting but, the Stat o seals work too. Parker makes them(and others). The crush of the washer and seal of the rubber is good. If it is steering fluid, I would use a Viton o-ring material. It is strong enough for some real harsh chemicals.
