Was cleaning up and found the two copper washers that go under the two lines from the brake fluid holding tank.

How bad did I screw up?

I do not believe this is on the pressure side of the master cylinder.

Thanks

It's your brakes. Do it right.

Did you use new washers on the banjo pressure fittings? There should be some there on the top and bottom of the fittings. The feed lines are a tight slip fit into the rubber grommits on top of the master cylinder.

Yeah, I don't think there are washers in the feed line, no pressure, no need for them. Copper is for crush washers, for metal fittings.

Well, there ARE washers in the fluid inlets, and you should put them in there.
