marktheherald Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 A quick question. The workshop manual lists a 'gasket' where the flexible hoses screw into the calipers and wheel cylinders. Is this a copper or fibre washer? There was so much crud when I dismantled the original that I have only found one copper washer. Was this correct?

glang Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Mine are copper - cant see fibre being used with hydraulic pressure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Sorry, correction, its a copper washer between the hoses and rear brake slave cylinders. The fronts have a normal coupler each end of the hoses to connect to the brake lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
