Brief Description:  Plastic brake line to master cylinder fitting redo

I had air leaking during a pressure test at the bras fittings on the master cylinders and plastic line in put. I removed both and cut the lines a little shorter so they wont rub as much on the bottom of the baggage shelf
reinstalled the inserts and brass sleeves as depicted on 5-1 having softened the plastic in boiling water.
Tightened both fittings again
Made a line to attach to the fluid resivoir that I could attach a test fitting to for suppling air pressure.
once done I added air pressure again. about 15 pounds and could again hear air escaping slowly from somewhere. It wasnt the fittings I just redone either. So I will need to track the leak down and also find out how much pressure I should realy be using anyway.
Picture provided shows what it looked like before I re did it. I forgot to get after pics
