Master Cylinder Installation, 2 Quick Questions Options

[Craigers17]

So I'm in the processing of re-installing my master cylinder, brakes etc. I had to take the 90 degree fitting off of the old master cylinder & use on the new one. My questions are:
1. Is there a washer or gasket that goes between the main M/C body and the fitting or just a washer between the 2 parts of the fitting?

2. There is a hole for the fluid to flow through in both the fitting body and the piece that pivots around it, for each of the front brakes. My question is do these 2 holes have to line up? My guess is they don't, but just wanted to double check before I install this beast....I really don't want to do this twice.

I hope I have explained this accurately,...I'm just referring to the front brake splitter for lack of a better term, ...not the feed lines to the reservoir. I do realize that I need a washer below the rubber grommets where the feed lines go. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm over-analyzing the situation, and they don't have to align, but we'll see what Eric says...thanks Mark.

they do not have to align. I belive that fitting is called a "banjo" fitting. You do need a washer on both sides of the fitting. I always use new fittings each time I disassemble and reassemble. Not sure if you have to, but I remember someone telling me to do that early on.

they sell these in kits of 1 or 4 at AutoZone, oreilly and other parts stores.

good luck
