Padgett Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I like the Teves and have a few spares but understand the regular power brake from a 89 Riviera is plug and pray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm sorry to say that retiredmechanic74 hasn't been on the forum since 2019. I hope he sees this and gives you a response but it is doubtful. I would be leery of using compression fittings on brakes although the Amazon seller says they will work. I think flared fittings would be a better choice even if they are a little harder to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Agree, with flared fittings it is locked mechanically and not a slip grip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMug Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Reccomendations on a brand or type? Are they all about the same brandwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If referring to joining brake lines, the entire brake system on the Reatta is metric bubble flare, most being M10 x 1.0 fittings. This type of flare is easy to make, even working in place under the car. Couplings are easily available and is the only way I join brake lines. As for brand, the last order I bought was 4Lifetimelines on Amazon, but a FLAPS will have them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
