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. |

Yes you need a copper sealing ring on both sides of the banjo fitting, no crush washers (they’re for the drain plug).
These are sealing rings, they’re solid copper (or aluminum for other applications), and what you need for sealing higher pressure banjo fittings, and do not or should not noticeably deform. These are crush washers and are for things like the oil drain plug, or oil sump nut. They are designed to compress to aid sealing, but should not be used for brake fittings |
