snake Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have just removed one of my uk 4 pot callipers to remove a seized pin. I now need two new copper washers for the braided line banjo.They appear to be 10mm ID x 14mm OD x [1.14 mm thick.after being crushed down] Do i need to use copper crush washers if so where can i get them in this size Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You can use aluminium ones if you can't get copper. Toyota sell the OE ones, any Toyota dealer can get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 We used to re anneal copper washers but obviously you need a heat source for that. Not sure many people do that nowadays though:think:. As others have said Mr T can supply and I would expect most motor factor to stock numerous sizes as well. I tend to use Dowty seals on most of my high pressure systems.

Chris Wilson Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Dowty seals are fine too, if costly! Hydraulic places sell them. Faye at http://www.speedflowshop.co.uk/ also sells them on line. She's very helpful and very knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Considering 99% of bikes on the road today use metric fittings, and the MKIV brake fittings are metric, it isn't *THAT* surprising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
