Hey Ross,
The rear wheel cylinders I got, have a deep well, that looks like it would take a long tube nut with a bubble flare. There is nowhere for a double flare to make a good seal. If I were to run it like it is, it would have a massive leak at the rear. The rear wheel cylinders are larger than the front; Right? The ones I put on the front have the proper mating surface for double flare 3/16" brake line. Yet, what I installed in the rear looks like it would work properly with the fittings on the brake hoses up front. When I compared what was on the car to what I got from Kanter, that is how it appeared to go. Do I need to switch the wheel cylinders around, and put the larger up front, and smaller in back?
