    I'm more worried about when I jump with them. I don't think I can trust them.

    I know your reasoning. I think you would be good for short term but they would wear out and eventually fail

    I put a set on a jeep a few years back. They work best if the stud goes in perpendicular to the clasp and can hang up a little if the hood is lifted from a corner VS the center.

    If you mount them to an engine cage you will be fine to huck it.

    There isn't brake fluid in the booster itself. Your master cylinder or the reservoir has sprung a leak. I have a spare booster and master if you need them.

    Oh shit! You saw that :p ok cool I'll take a closer look later. I saw it this morning before the sun was up. I just saw a minor leak coming from there. I was assuming it was the booster. If I need parts I'll hit you up.

    Are you sure it's not coming from the the new line itself that we installed?
    The valve itself shouldn't cause a leak, I wouldn't think anyway.
    Just make sure the fluid isn't traveling from another area.

    I was using my phone flash light when I checked it. So now that the sun is up I'll double check later. Busy at work now.

    So it's looking like it's the brass fittings on the valve is what's leaking. I guess I'll try tightening it again. If it doesn't seal. Then I'll use teflon tape. @Blackdawg good thing I was worried for a second there.

    Tighten the dog shit out of it. :thumbsup:
    Teflon tape won't work on brake lines. Plumbing fixtures/pipes seal at the threads, that's what teflon tape is for. Brake lines seal on the end of the tube itself, teflon will have no effect at all.

    I just re-tightened every thing. Nothing seems to be leaking but I still need to bleed the brakes again. They still feel soft and they didn't feel that way when I left your place.

    It was prolly right on the ragged edge of "tight enough" and the trip home may have been enough to vibrate it loose to where it leaked.
    It didn't occur to me to check those particular fittings as you had made that section up before you came over. Sorry about that. :oops:

    Pshhh not even your fault. I'm the one that told you I tightened it when you asked me if it was tight. It's really not a big deal. Simple fixes.
