I replaced all cylendars and all lines year ago. After some challenges the lines stopped weeping.

the master cylinder seems to weep around the plunger shaft Is there a collar/nut I need to tighten?

The rubber brake lines upfront seem to twist. Is there a slip fitting or is that normal? Asked before twist looks awkward

Same Olde 39’ single master cylinder ?
Or upgrade to new duel master cylinder ?

probably caused by the new junk rubber they make today

Lines are fixed. Some movement but they should not twist or rotate.

There is not a gland that can be tightened on the master cylinder. Replacement units are available and not mega expensive.
Front hoses: Tighten them into the wheel cylinders first and then make the connection at the chassis end. Ensure any twist is taken out as the chassis end is tightened.
