Rob, at work we never use the new copper washers. They seem to be prone to leaks. We carefully re use the old ones and never have any problems, whether on wheel cylinders or calipers. We can't afford a customer comeback be it the time or our reputation.
Cheers,
Barry

Aaaargh.

There are two sizes of washer on the lynx. I used some mil spec ones from base maintenance that were the same size as the MLVW. Then I used some commercial ones we got from NAPA for the other size. Want to guess which ones are leaking?
