Don,

How do you use them to stop brake lines? I find I have to take a dowel and
sharpen it in a pencil sharpener to get a decent fit into a brake line, and
even then the point is so delicate that it wants to break off, and then I
have to retrieve it. A better way of stopping brake fluid leaking from
brake and clutch fittings has been on my mind lately, having encountered a
bunch of it while working on the suspension.

What do others do?
