They look like the wrong fittings for the master cylinder. When fully snugged up, there should still be some threads visible.

Maybe these fittings are too shallow

Maybe it was over honed when it was rebuilt?
Hmm

Is that taper in the MC concave or convex? Should be sloping out towards you (convex). Optical illusions...

Did you see the part about where bucket mentioned the flare nuts depth? I should still have threads out past the mc when tightened.

So if you were to have the MC laying on its side with the ports facing up, they’d be like a funnel as opposed to a road cone?

That doesn’t make sense.

Tbh, new MCs from Napa are $50 something dollars well spent.
