TR2/3/3A Goodridge SS brakelines from Moss

I'm wanting to shift to stainless steel brake lines, so I bought the Goodridge lines from Moss that I thought were correct for my VIN (44743L), which should be Moss 582-018. My calipers are type A in the Moss catalogue. I put them on and they leaked like a sieve at the calipers. Well, that's because the ends are completely different! And Moss has a no return policy on brake lines.

Does anyone know which SS kit are correct? Fool me once, you know.

Did you try adding the copper sealing washer? I don't know for sure, but I suspect the aftermarket lines are designed to seal either way. The ones I got for my Stag were that way too.

As Randall said, copper washers. I have received a set with each SS braided hoses I have bought.

Assuming your brake hoses did not come with the washers and they have 3/8-24 threads, the closest common size will be 25/64" ID. I did some checking and found the following.
Dorman Part No. 66272.
McMaster-Carr 93744A160

Unfortunately the Dorman part (which may be in your local parts store) is only 2 washers and about $4.50
The McMaster part number is for a 10 pack of washers for about $7.70... but there will be shipping.
A local brake and muffler shop may have what you need for less.

If your old hoses used the copper washers and you haven't thrown them out, anneal them with a torch and when cool sand them flat using fine wet/dry paper on top of a piece of MDF or plate glass.
