Hard lines use the same 37deg flare as AN fittings do....

Stainless AN4 fittings, come with Mazworx kit. Leakage is minimal, let's say not a leakage but a thin film of oil on hoses and fittings. Plus hoses clutter engine bay and fittings are almost impossible to be disconnected with engine installed.
I want to make hard lines with banjo rings+banjo bolts.

Perhaps a high temp Teflon tape on the threads would help?

AN fittings do not seal by the threads, they seal on the 37deg. Mating surfaces. No sealing tape/compound or sealent should be used.

Ive had some cheap fittings slightly leak, some lapping compound. Snug down the fitting lightly, spin the fitting, remove, clean all the compound out and reinstall..no more issue

Hmm that is weird there is seepage from the fittings... good enough for avation, arm and navy/MILTARY(hence AN) no debis in the mating surfaces, or finish imperfections?

Hard lines can work you just need tobe cautious of reverbation(vibrqtion in the lines causing metal fatigue. Plus i would imagine the easy of installation and removal being harder.
