Joe,

I'm not the one who made the statement.... I just asked you for your
sources. I can tell you from first hand experience that they work,
whether you think they're right or wrong. I have had a compression
union on one of my cars for over two years now and have had no
problems with it, and yes, I have made a couple of panic stops. Hard
to argue with that.

===========================
Well...in this context, *I* am a source. Check my .sig.

In addition, there have already been and likely will be more responses
indicating that several states actually have laws proscribing their
use.

Better yet, let's look at the specs for the typical compression
fittings as sold in auto parts stores and hardware stores. Industrial
supplier McMaster-Carr has them in their catalog on pages 121-122.

http://www.mcmaster.com/ and enter 121 in the FIND box.

Toward the bottom of page 121 the specs are listed. Note that the
highest pressure rating for standard fittings is 400psi, for the
smallest sizes, and that the pressure rating decreases as the tube
size increases. Automotive brake systems typically see 600-1200psi in
normal operation depending on pedal and hydraulic ratios and whether
they are manual or power brakes. Also note that the fittings are
listed as appropriate for " PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, and
nylon with a durometer of A70 and higher; copper; aluminum; and brass"
but not for steel.

Lastly, I will repeat the part of my paragraph that you snipped....

"I don't believe any manufacturer or (genuinely) knowledgeable brake
expert has ever recommended the use of compression fittings for brake
lines, and with good reason..."

and challenge you to find such a recommendation for the use of
standard hardware/auto parts store compression fittings.

I guess you could probably supply me with a "Documented" accident that
was caused by the failure of a "correctly installed" compression
union in a brake system then, with all your resources.

Get real, I am the least of your worries with all of the vehicles
running around with rusting brake lines. If a vehicle in the salt belt
is over 10 years old you can bet it has had a failure or soon will
have. My wife's '91 Olds popped the line to the rear brakes and the
line to the rear brakes on my '94 Chev pickup developed a leak but did
not burst. You better tell your wife & kids to stay off the streets
with all of those time bombs running around..... :^)

Absolutely correct. Compression fittings are NOT designed to hold
anything like that kind of pressure.

I did a pretty fast read through these links and could have missed

their content. The first link does discuss compression fittings, but I
can't find anything in it that mentions the pressure rating of the

in the single digit pressure range.) The second and third links appear
to discuss the more sophisticated bite-type and coned fittings rather
than the ones that are commonly referred to as compression fittings.

It worked on my Jeep's top for at least three years.

The shoe-polished area had a luster that the rest of the top didn't have. I
cured that by never cleaning off the mud and dirt.

I can't imagine that would work, least not for long. I don't think shoe

not
enough of them for re-blacking a tonneau cover.

Really? That's amazing. The cover on my PU is getting bad, but I'm just
replacing it. I want something easier to put on when it's less than 65

I'll invite my ex wife to hang out in your neighborhood:

Better yet, to ride with you.

Compression fittings have been used successfully for years, but have also
failed for years. I can't give you cocumented accidents, but I can tell you
of repairs I made to substandard compression union repairs. Like you do!

I have years of "Professional" experience, I'm sure you're just a shade tree
parts changer that challanges propper automotive tecniques with your trailer
park remedies.

This will be the last response you'll get from me, because I can smell your
bad breath and can imagine your rotten teeth. Enjoy your concrete block
stands and your compression fittings.

Sincerely,

Refinish King

Before the Soviet Collapse and the so called " special period ",

of Triumph TR3s & MGAs & a nice silver Maserati 3500, also a few
Mercedes roadsters like the one Ernie Kovacs drove in "Our Man in
Havana ". The film also had a nice shot of the ocean liner SS United
States as " The Big U " was sailing by the island. Most of these kinds
of cars are gone now, their owners selling them to Japanese,
European, & South American collectors for hard currency to feed their
families or flee the country, your typical old American car on the
road is your basic 50's family car + some Cadillac sedans, prices are
high there, a 1955 Cadillac with a Russian engine in half was decent
condition is like $20,000, you could by a nice original in South
Florida for half that. There was once a really nice 1930 Pierce Arrow
Phaeton at one of the national museums that was former dictator
General Machado's car, I don't know if they still have it, so many of
the country's treasures are being sold off my shadowy individuals with
Govt connections. Look on Ebay and see the stuff that is being sold.
Most cars though seem post WWII. Most post 1965 imports were Soviet,
Polish, & East German cars and some Fords and Fiats imported from
Argentina and Brazil.

Most of the more desirable cars are gone, T-Birds, Corvettes, but here
is a black 56 Lincoln Mark II on the streets of Havana,

Not true. I was just in Cuba, saw a 57 Silver Hawk (Studebaker) and that
is a very desirable car. I did not see but heard about a 57 T-bird
somewhere in the city of Holguin, Cuba. There are many cars collectors would
drool over but most would take massive restoration as they have suffered
alterations. Such as a really nice 1950 Ford convertible with a Peugeot
Diesel engine in it. And one that is NOT in the greatest state of repair. I
have seen some VERY cherry 55 and 57 Chevys there as well as a 54 Oldsmobile
that is in show condition in two shades of grey paint. A near perfect body
and great chrome.

There are some 40's era Chrysler products on the road, as well as some
of Chrysler's specials that are cross breeds between their lines in the
50's. Crosses between Plymouths and Dodge or DeSoto, and crosses between
Dodge and Desoto or Chryslers. They were made that way for markets in Canada
and Mexico. Many of those ODD Chrysler cars wound up in Cuba. I also saw a
pristine 57 Plymouth Fury with the small Hemi.

the door from the outside handle - again everything fine.

The problem is when I open the door from the inside door handle, the door
bolt (wrong name probably - looks like a deadbolt) retracts too far & gets
stuck inside of the door. It appears that the handle rotates too far &
pulls
the door bolt so far in it get stuck in the door. A screw driver & a
little
prying & it pops back out. Yuck!!!!!!! :-(

What am I needing to adjust or is that an indication of some adjustment
problem?

Thanks,
Spencer
