Rebuilt the whole front end on my 73 challenger and am about to install new rubber front brake lines into the new calipers.
Do the front brake hoses use a copper ring gasket where they thread into the calipers? The new hoses didn't come with any and I can't recall if my old ones had washers or not when I removed them.
