Where do the copper washers go on the brake lines to the disk brake caliper? One on either side of the hose connection? Or both on one side? TIA bwhitejr |

They are gaskets. If you are speaking about the "banjo" hose connection, then they go on both sides. You need 2 for each caliper end connection. FYI, a cheap-a$$ friend of mine tried to make washers out of copper pennies on a lathe and they did not seal - alloy was too hard. Lou |

I had quite a collection of brake caliper hose washers since they came with both my rebuilt calipers and the new hoses. Do this with a few cars and one ends up with a lot of washers. |

You can buy sets of copper washers from Harbor Freight fairly cheaply. In a pinch I've carefully sanded the old washers very smooth and them reused them w/o problems. |
