Default Brake line and crush washer question

Got my brake line from la choppers (barnetts) installed but I have a question about the copper crush washers. The kit came with 4 crush washers, 2 big and 2 small. I'm wondering if the 2 big go on the bigger banjo and 2 small on the smaller or if the 2 big go one to the master cylinder and 1 to the caliper it the smaller ones going to to banjo bolt.

Any help?

You have to match them with your banjo bolts.

On my 09 Fatboy, the banjo bolt for the master cylinder side is about 3/4" wide, where at the brake side it's about 5/8" wide. So, obviously the big ones go on my master cylinder banjo bolt. I replaced the cables and the banjo bolts, but not at the same time so I've done this twice LOL!!

And on some, the area near the bolthead is larger than the shank so you'll have a large at the head and small at the shank. Just to confuse you some more.

05 FLSTF I had to use a large by the bolt head and small on the shaft. Lets throw some more wrenches into the works. Don't want it to be too simple for the shade tree mechanics.
