Thanks! I opted for the banjo fittings from Baer for mine. We'll see when I install it.

So the leak was from the banjo hardlines. Where the tubing is brazed to the banjo fitting they didn’t finish the brazing all the way around. I called Baer and they are shipping me a new set.

No from where my lines went to the prop valve. But I had sealing problems with all the stainless lines

No I was saying where my leak was at. The Baer hardlines from MC to propotioning valve, one of the fittings was not completely brazed. Explains why I haven’t been able to get any pedal pressure

OK, mine were good there

I've fully given up on relying on a good seal when using stainless flares, though I do like the durability aspect. I now use these and have had zero leaks since:
