I ended up making a new line with a double flare at the rack and it has not leaked so far. I made the double flare slightly larger by moving the line out of the flaring tool a bit and then flaring it again. I used the original end at the other end and cut it off and double flared it couple it to my new line. The O ring on that end is metric, I got new ones from "The Oring store" online. Can't remember exactly what size it was. I like the way you did your lines better though.Originally Posted by
I have also been working on those damned rack lines. I tried re-bending the stock ones and they aren't long enough, even with a 12mm banjo on the valve. I tried having new lines flared, but nobody can make them like GM did and I am concerned about using a single 45 degree flare that's so small anyhow. I've contacted Turn One to see if they sold new hardlines for a rotated C4 rack but haven't heard anything back.
I got some custom fittings made by Bluegrass Trifive (thanks Steve!) that adapt the 12mm x 1.5mm 45 degree rack fitting to an AN fitting but by the time I put them on and use an AN-4 90 degree hose end the hoses are way out in front of the rack. Also, the valve end has some really screwey o-ring flare like this that nobody can make:
