Putting another brake pressure sensor in and thread is 1/8 npt on sensor. Is there any issues using teflon tape? ie: does brake fluid disolve it. had one race part supply place tell me it did, but contacted few others and that's the way they recommended it (ie: with teflon tape). obviously have to put some sealant on it.

I already have brake press sensor in my car now (and a fuel press sensor too) 1/8 npt with teflon tape and it's been that way for 1.5 yrs now with no issue, but wonding of impending doom.

If someone has has proof example where they've had it that way for many years with no issue, that would be good to know too.

As far as I know, almost nothing will hurt teflon.

Joe, think stainless steel jacketed teflon brake lines.

So yes, teflon tape is the way to go.

Joe,

Your car looks so good. You should be very proud. I can only imagine the labor of love - how much work - you put into it over the last several years. I can't wait to see it in action.

only issue with teflon tape is the chance of a sliver of it entering into the system -- I like the liquid pipe thread sealant type. Years ago while in my drag racing days teflon tape on NOS systems was a no-no -- the solenoids didnt like it and would jam from time to time.

Also, dont use thread sealants on tapered seat type of fittings -- shouldnt be necessary -- if it is, something is wrong with the seating surfaces.

Chris, yes if you wrap the tape over the lead thread, then that is certainly a problem. I do not know if there is a specific automotive product, but this is the best teflon based pipe sealant that I have ever used.
