The 1976 914 build continues, Question on the master cylinder lines from brake fluid reservoir. Do the hard lines from the reservoir just push into the rubber grommet on top of the master cylinder? I tried pushing the lines in, would not stay and leaked. Also, no click that I have read about. Are there washers that are installed before the flared end of the reservoir lines? Perhaps remove the rubber grommets from the master cylinder, install reservoir lines into grommets and then install assembly into master cylinder? What is the order the lines are pushed into the master cylinder? Where do the washers go? How deep do the hard lines fit into the grommets? Through the rubber grommet and into the master cylinder? Thanks in advance, stalled on this one. Steve

Thanks for the replies. Order of install; Metal washer goes into, Master cylinder. Next rubber grommet. Last reservoir supply line? Master cylinder comes with grommets installed, washers in bag. Remove grommets from Master Cylinder, install washers in Master Cylinder. Next, grommet and finally supply line? The supply line snaps into rubber grommet some how? Or install washer into Master cylinder, with grommet out of, Master Cylinder insert supply line into rubber grommet. Then grommet with supply line installed into Master Cylinder? How to use a flare wrench on the supply line to insert into grommet? I have been using pliers to push supply line into grommet. I ruined the pre installed grommets trying to push the supply lines into the rubber grommets. I installed the Master Cylinder in the car. Did not use the washers, where ever they go? Once again thanks for the help.
