I guess that I should introduce myself as I have been reading the list
for over a year now. My name is Kirk and I have a 1976 TR6 (BRG) without
OD. I am just completing the restoration of the interior which was
partially necessitated by a leaking brake master cylinder. I am
currently reinstalling brass-sleeved brake master cylinder and vacuum
servo. Additionally, I am replacing the flexible rubber brake hoses.
Which leads to my question. The braided stainless steel covered brake
hoses (Goodridge) come with copper crush washers. The hoses which I
removed did not have crush washers. Am I correct in assuming that the
washers are not needed because the metal pipes are flaired? I would sure
appreciate any advise offered.
