A solid copper sealing washer for use on Austin Healey brake hose connections. This washer sits between the brake hose fitting and the mating hydraulic component to create a fluid-tight seal under pressure.
Suitable for:
Also used on Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midget applications where specified with the compatible rear brake hose listed below.
Always inspect the mating faces for scoring or distortion before installation. Tighten to the correct torque specification for the brake hose fitting being used. Suitable for use with DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids. Not intended for reuse once compressed.
Only suitable for brake hose assemblies that require a copper sealing washer at the union. Not used on fixed hard-line flare connections that seal via the pipe flare itself. Always confirm the hose end configuration before ordering.
It is used where the brake hose incorporates a banjo-type fitting requiring a copper sealing washer. It is not required on flare-type rigid pipe unions that seal metal-to-metal.
Yes. Copper washers deform to create a seal and should not be reused. Always fit new washers when installing or removing brake hoses.
This listing is for a single copper washer. Confirm the quantity required for the specific hose connection before ordering.
Copper washers are compatible with conventional glycol-based fluids (DOT 3, 4, 5.1) and silicone-based DOT 5 fluid, provided the system components are suitable.
