Reservoir Lines

I had been battling with an ongoing issue with the braided hoses coming down from the reservoirs to the master cylinders "bleeding" fluid. This is apparently caused by a faulty connection on the hose and is not uncommon. Easily fixed by replacing these lines (clutch and brake) with new PVC wrapped, braided lines swapped by Meridian Motorsport. Made one mistake fitting them, which was one line was "upside down", in that it had a flange that was higher than the banjo mating face, that interfered with the mating face of the master cylinder preventing it from sealing. The reservoirs and lines are now holding fluid with no leakage so I can move on and finish the brake lines and bleed them.
