Default Master Cylinder Fittings

Have an issue with the fittings off the brake line going into the master cylinder leaking. Is there anybody that knows what fittings and sizes I am supposed to use? Thank you

I am using the willwood master cylinder with the booster eliminator plate. Tried to T off the two brake lines into the master cylinder using the Teflon tape to try to seal it but it still leaks.

You don't want to use teflon on brake lines. It will contaminate the fluid

Just look at the flairs if it ain't sealing. If they aren't cracked then you just need to tighten them more. That is as long as the fittings are the right size, but they will be if you are using stock parts on stock lines

I will try to tighten them some more. Don't want to strip the nut end on that line so I was cautious when first tried to assemble it all. Thank guys will let you know how it went.
