Ummm.

        On a B the end of the hose that goes to the brake caliper is sealed
with a copper crush washer.  When installing the brake calipers you will
need one crush washer per side of vehicle.  Nice of them to send extras.

        This statement is incorrect.  Not sure where the confusion lies, all
the B and Midget Lockheed calipers and B clutch slave cylinder use the 3/8 X
24 UNF male thread sealed with a copper washer.
