I had one guy come in and say, yeah im fixing the brake lines on my sons car, what size compression fittings do I ned for his car. I told him not to use them and he said and I quote: well Im in the pipe fitters union, so I know what im doing and what they're used for, and they will work. I said whatever im not going to sell them to you, so he went over to the next register and he sold them. I wasent there too long after to have the guy come back and tell me his sons brake line exploded after he jammed on the pedal cause some *** pulled out in front ( im not saying it did happen, but i was waiting for him to say that to me)
It is illegal to sell or install compression fittings for brake lines. You were smart to deny them to him. Your co-worker is lucky that the guys son didn't hurt or kill himself or someone else or your store would be in very deep ****.

FYI Energy Suspension gave me zip ties with my clamshell poly motor mounts, to zip tie them together. Yeah, I welded them shut.



Did you guys remember to square off the tubing after you cut it? A tubing cutter will leave radiused edges that will hinder flow.
