A question on the reservoir grommets and their proper orientation. I thought the small recess in the seating face was for the flair on the metal reservoir line ends as seen in this Pelican picture.
When I removed the cars original unit I saw The existing and pretty trashed grommets have a recess built into them that accepts the flair from the metal end coming from the reservoir. AFAI can tell, the metal tubes did not exit the grommets on the MC side on my installation that removed., (is this correct? The Pelican sight shows the metal flares protruding from the bottom of the grommet, ie, they would then sit against the small metal washer in the MC)
While the grommets supplied with my replacement ATE unit do not have the internal recess built in. This is causing the grommet to flair a pretty good amount if I don't push them through as in the picture.. Has anyone used this type grommet or have an opinion if they are correct? They appear similar in every other ways and PN. Any ideas if the original type are still available? Also metal reservoir tube ends inside the grommet or pushed through?
thx
Mike

It's a required washer for the grommet to seal it into the master cylinder. There usually supplied with the new master cylinder.
