Now, I've dutifully got hold of some nice new Goodridge brake lines. (Please, no one suggest anything else I should buy!!) Whilst the lines have never been used, I bought them from someone, and there were no crushable washers in the box with them. The instructions on the rear talks about using washers....
Can someone tell me the exact ones I'll need, so I can go get some?
Cheers!

I'm not aware of the use of any crushable washers in the brake lines... At least not in the ones you are replacing.

Do you mean the retaining clips?

Yeah, I think the reference to washers is only relevant for hoses that use banjo bolts, which ours don't.

Maybe the instructions on the rear of the box are a generic wording. If non are required, all the better! One thing though, the moveable labels on the lines, yellow or orange cylinders almost. What do they signify? Should all hoses be the same length.? Thanks for replying so quick Vandit!

I'm not sure about that. I'm guessing the structure of the fittings on the Goodridge lines does not replicate the OEM lines?

I'm using the ECS Tuning "Exact Fit" lines and the fittings replicate the shape of the OEM lines except the size of part of the fittings was slightly oversized which prevented the retaining clips from being inserted. I was able to solve this using a metal file and removing a bit of material from around oversized area of the fitting.
