HELP: Those of you with Stoptech SS Lines

For those of you with stoptech stainless steel brake lines, does nut on the hard line coming from the master cylinder screw all the way into the stoptech line? Mine is as tight as can be and it doesn't screw all the way in like it did on the stock rubber line. I'm sure I screwed in it straight. All four lines are like that. I just wanted to see if any of you have the same situation before I try and loosen the nuts and have to bleed the system again. Thanks a lot!

^ I just had Stoptech SS lines installed a few weeks ago.


If you can hold out 'til tomorrow around lunchtime, I'll be back at the shop and can ask the guys then. I'll post up what they have to say.

Great, thanks! I check my brake fluid level everyday because I'm paranoid it's going to leak if I step on the pedal hard enough haha.

^ So I was talking to the shop guys - they say the master cylinder screw doesn't screw all the way down <be careful about threading it!> and not to worry if it's already tight & nothing is leaking. And you don't have to re-bleed the lines if you've already done it once. < I know - elementary - but this is from the horse's mouth. Hope I didn't translate it wrong.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. It saves me the hassle of messing around with the lines again.
