Although it's surely not as critical for the brake lines as it is for the fuel
lines, I placed a call to Airflow Performance to get their recommendation on
what thread sealant to use for the NPT threads. They indicated either
Permatex 14 or Loctite 565. Neither was available locally that I could find,
so I ordered it on Amazon. Paid almost as much in shipping as for the product
itself. Sigh.

Ready to thread these in. It took quite a bit of searching around, looking for how
tight these are supposed to go, but I finally found that MIL-P-7105 is the mil spec
document that indicates "wrench makeup" is up to 3 turns beyond hand tight. So, I
tightened these 2 turns beyond hand tight. As far as I can tell there is no official
(government controlled) spec for torque for pipe thread fittings. Airflow performance
sent me some torque values, but I just counted turns in this case.
