Got tired of those skinny silicone washers shredding to pieces.

Copper and aluminum crush washers are soft, seal the item up...and can be reused. They dont use these on brake line banjo bolts for nothing. You can get them at Advance Auto.

One other thing...
That breather banjo bolt has a metric sized diameter.
Best to take the bolt with you to the parts store and match up.

M12-1/2"

That's the size that I ended up getting. Seems to fit good, we'll see how they work after I get a few miles on with them installed.

Thanks all.
