[Roadsters] Banjo Bolt Washers

[Mark Sedlack]

They are made of soft metal (either dead soft copper or aluminum) to crush 
and fill in any microscopic variations in the mating surfaces to stand up to 
very high pressures, particularly in hydraulic brake applications.  Some 
carbs use fittings with plastic washers, where the plastic is chemically 
inert like HDPE or Acetal.
