Thanks for the ideas, guys...Dodgeb4ya, the cylinders all came from andy bernbaum...but didn't look at the brand/country on the boxes

The problem is in curved steel line connecting the two wheel cylinders. The lines are double flare and made by Classic Tube...supposedly made to original factory specs. The leak is a slow drip with no pedal pressure...just shoe spring pressure is enough to start it ...Thanks

I bought the new yorker a couple of years ago as an eventual project and have now begun restoration. I noticed that the wheel cylinders had been leaking and decided to replace them with new units from Bernbaum...did so and found that the leaks continued at the line fittings. I had new steel lines made and installed...used the correct incremental tightening procedure on the fittings and the leak is still there. I'm wondering about flare fitting angle differences...this seems like such a simple problem to fix with new parts. I'm trying to avoid disk conversion if possible...anybody else have this issue? Thanks in advance
