Where does one find these?
got some at a local parts store.
Anyone else?
iirc dorman makes them . so it should be in the help section
Usually come with new hoses and rebuilt calipers. I've found similar ones in the hardware store.
Had the same problem. Found several either to small or to big but nothing perfect. Finally just purchased new lines and they came with them. Just a side note,I have seen guys put a wrap of solder around the bolt in place of the copper washer and it works well.

that is the exact reason not everyone should own a screwdriver. i mean h*** s***. is that ever a don't do this. how hot can a brake get anyway.
Those are so-called "banjo" fittings. They're common hydraulic fittings. Copper washers of varying sizes should be available at any good auto parts establishment.
If your parts house doesn't carry them or won't sell them separately try a hardware store or an establishment that services construction or farm equipment.
Please don't try an improvised substitute for a copper washer. You're working on brakes and you DON'T want an unexpected failure. :eagle:
The brake supplier for Schucks and NAPA sends the same washers to Loews and other hardware stores. They are NOT a UBC certified part.
Harbor Freight Tools sells a copper washer kit.
