Default Stacking Copper Washers

This is about the blurriest picture of all time, but here we go......

I got braided lines from HCC for Apes..... Anyway, the fitting for the ABS doesn't fit real well, and is a little fatter at the fitting/line connection part than where it bolts up to the ABS Box.......

I can buy a new fitting, or I was thinking about stacking 2 copper washers under where it bolts to the ABS box...... This will make the connection level and straight.

Will that leak? I would think 2 copper washers together would be ok...... You guys think that will leak?

No. No way. Don't do it. Get the proper fitting.
