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.

The aluminum are for oil line fittings. I’d only use the copper ones for the brake line fittings. I can see some value in anealing the exhaust copper gaskets, but I don’t think it’s necessary for sealing rings

Perry, Bruce, & Stownsen914,

Thanks for the additional info! Embarrassingly enough, I found the second washer under a crusty coat of dirt and rust .... still attached to the old MC. At least now I know exactly what size both washers are.

On a crappier note, while trying to wrestle the new M/C onto the reservoir lines, I tore one of the 2 rubber grommets...so I'll need to grab a couple of those before this proceeds any further.....what a pain in the ass this job is. After further reconsideration, I think I'm going to take out the gas tank, and replace the reservoir & the feed lines too. That way I can get these lines fitted into the M/C first, and then feed them up to the reservoir as noted in another post......live and learn.....

Thats the move. I have my tank out currently to get the fresh air blower motor fan working (sucessfully did that today) and next is to tackle replacing the stock MC w/ a 19mm. working under the car trying to fit the MC to the hoses, SUCKS.
