Not the first time... a friend of mine had the SOS brake lines, we tried to torque the provided bolt to OEM spec and it snapped just like yours did.

Happened to me too. SOS hooked me right up and then gave me the proper torque spec too.

I looked last night, thought i had it in an email and then noted it in my service manual but couldn't find it. Will check my work email today and report back.
Found it. SOS recommended just 14 ft/lbs of torque on their non-OEM banjo bolts for their steel braided lines.

That explains why 25 ft lbs would break it, lol.
