   got some brake lines from swampy very good quality, they came with 2 copper washers are these for the brake side or car side of the line as the standard ones didn't have copper crush washers on the brake side
   
   PS these are 306 s16 callipers not stock saxo ones

   Any brake pipes I've changed have them between the brake hose and the caliper as the brake pipes are flanged

   No worries mate just make sure they're not leaking once you've bled it and you'll be fine

   will have to strip the paint back to make sure they seal around the fixings

   I think the copper washers are for certain callipers (i cant remember which). I've never had to use them, just make sure the hoses dont leak after.
