Brake hose seals?
Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2018 7:00 pmI'm not sure if there should be a washer/seal between the brake hoses and the brake calipers. I can't see anything obvious in the parts list. Can anyone confirm please?

The flexi pipes and end fittings are shown in Section JA of the Parts Manual - under Bundy Pipes. The Banjo fittings and copper washers are shown.
