Default brake proportioner valve leaking help!

I put my brake proportioner valve back on after getting my car painted and the engine bay.
Now it wont stop leaking every time i press on the brake.

I try to tighten it down some more put it just keeps leaking.
Any idea or suggestions. Thanks!

Did you reflare any of the lines? I know when I did used one of thoes crappy harbor freight flare tools and they leaked like a bitch I had to cut and re flare them with a proper tool. Try a little sealing tape on the threads. try that out?

im assuming its leaking where the flare/ line meets the hole in the prop valve? try using a friends to see if that solves your problems. If that doesn't work then cut and re- flare because the current flares are obviously not going to cut it.
