Has anyone had an issue with the front brake line to caliper sealing. I have a small leak on both front calipers to brake line banjo? Any solutions would be appreciated.

You used the copper sealing rings?

I had the same problem, in the end FFR determined the banjo fitting on the brake line was defective and they are sending me new lines. Jason at FFR was very helpful on this issue.

Just thought I'd weigh in, in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing: Make sure not to exceed the recommended torque on the banjo bolts. If your lines are not sealing, disassemble the connection and inspect, rather than tightening further. Being aluminum, the front calipers can strip easily, especially being a fine thread (1.0mm pitch).
