Okay, I loosely put the soft lines on my new brake calipers. I think I did the banjo bolt and washers correctly, but I'd like some confirmation. Here's my setup:

Banjo bolt head > large washer > line > small washer > caliper



Did I do this right?

Is there a good generic source for these? I can't see paying $7 to ship 4 washers..and I can't think of anything else I need from Moss/VB..
I thought someone once said a motorcycle shop might have them?

Thanks

I bought mine in the "HELP!" section of my local autoparts store.

Copper sealing washers also are available in an "assortment kit" from Harbor Freight (item 93324-4VGA, 110 pieces for $9).

I just bought some from the local bolt house, about 60 cents each.

Excellent..its been so long since I took them off (and lost them), I couldn't remember if there was anything special about them..
