Master Cylinder Installation, 2 Quick Questions Options

[Craigers17]

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.

Yes you need a crush washer on both sides of the vanjo fitting. The washers are different sizes. One size is NLA from Porsche. I found a replacement in a Wurth selection of crush washers. You can reuse the old ones. If they are copper flatten them in a vise then aneal them by heating to red hot and drop them in water. That softens the metal for a better seal.
No need to align the hole.
I later bought a bag of 50 crush washers from McMaster carr.
