Default Brake Reservoir Plumbing
Has anyone used the SafeAir Quick Disconnect fittings and tube for plumbing from the brake fluid reservoir to the cylinders?

If so, do they provide a good leak free system?

I just installed safe-air fittings on one brake. The other one wasn't leaking yet. No leaks after 2 months. This was recommended by Gus at Van's. I just couldn't get the compression fitting to stop seeping. The safe-air press on fitting are way easier to use. I have similar fittings in plumbing in my house and have never had a leak. Since this area of your brake system doesn't see any pressure, it should work fine.
