I was told by another coworker of mine, who now works for another parts
company, that compression fittings on brake lines are illegal here in
the state of Wisconsin. So I've heard that too.
When I returned to work today after lunch, when I sent my first message
on this topic, I asked my boss, (store manager - 30 year parts service
veteran) that is *IS* illegal to use them on brake lines. I've been
searching the web trying to locate the law where it says that... I want
to know and read it for my own satisfaction.
