ktec braided hoses - only two copper washers?

[Munson]

As per title. Should there not be four copper washers with the ktec 172/182 braided hose kit? I've contacted the guys by email anyway, but thought I'd ask here in case you do only need two washers.

You only need two for the front calipers at the caliper end of the hose, at least mine did anywho.

Ah ok cheers. So the rear doesn't require any washers?

Slightly confused with that. I have one box, with 4 hoses and a plastic bag which contains 2 copper washers.

Nope goes from the solid lines under the car to the solid lines on the beam not the one that goes to the calipers. Both ends of those are just normal flared ends.

Sweet. Many thanks, guys. I guess all will become clear once I start taking the car to bits

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh you'll be fine it'll become apparent. Theres nothing to fitting them anyway.

 

[Gstar2006]

I'll be doing my discs and pads tomorrow, then probably the hoses and fluid on Monday. I have the use of a pit, which should make the rear hoses a doddle

If that's the crush washers then yeah, you only have 2 as explained on the Goodridge instructions

I did my front discs & pads today, will do the lines & fluid next day I'm off work
