Would I be better off this time using taper fittings with PTFE?

Just a lot of ptfe on the threads you have, so that the fittings are
stiff to wind in, until they bottom.

Tried that first time round, before the various washers. Couldn't get it
to seal.

On a smaller thread (1/4" IIRC) with the same problems, I used gas PTFE
(thicker) - and I needed 8 wraps to get it nice and stiff. Seals at 7.5 bar
though

What about something like Rocol Threadseal XS

That looks pretty permanant...
