Brake Line Gaskets?

Revolver · 09-28-2003, 02:16 AM

I plan on doing the rear disc brake conversion next week and I was told to pick up new brake line gaskets (little copper like washers that MUST be replaced whenever the brake lines are removed). I have gone to a couple of automotive stores and they don't know what they are. Does anyone know a better term for them, or exactly what they look like?

Don't call them gaskets. They're the washers that go in between the banjo bolt and the caliper.

Thanks a lot....I did notice the washers between the banjo bolt and the caliper, but thought they looked pretty sturdy, so I didn't think that they were it. That makes life a whole lot easier. Now I can go into the store with something to show them.

Now another question....where in the hell did the term banjo bolt come from?
