copper gaskets and banjo hose ends - front calipers

[tom h]

The '87 OEM rubber brake hose, where it connects to the front calipers, uses copper flat washers under the banjo bolt to make a seal.

If you look closely at the original, there are maybe 5-6 narrow concentric ridges machined into the caliper and also the banjo end, to bite into the copper gasket and make a tight seal.

I was about to install aftermarket stainless braided hose, and its banjo end (a separate piece with a 3AN tube flare) does NOT have these small concentric ridges.

Have any of you had problems with leaking or seeping brake fluid on these aftermarket banjo ends?

My Russell kit doesn't leak.

Don't remember exactly how the ends looked.

Bolt it together and go

I just reused the copper washers with my Russell stainless hoses and I don't have any leaks.
