Fuel line banjo fitting washers?
 
I've got the Edelbrock hard line fitting at the carb part #8131. Can't find the right size washers for the banjo fitting & don't see a listing for them. Can I use the originals multiple times? If not, anybody know what size of replacement will work? Thanks

It is a low pressure application. Do a good visual inspection with a magnifying glass and if they look good reuse them.
Are they metal or fiber?

They’re usually a copper crush washer like these.

They're metal. Very thin. Not copper. Maybe aluminum? Called Edelbrock. Nice guy. Said I'll have trouble finding them, but he'll send me a couple. Asked him about the size and he admitted he didn't know. Wondering if anyone else has the same setup & used different washers - in case I remove it again.

If they were copper I would say to annealed them, but aluminum I'm so not sure it would work on such a thin part. Try searching the interweb for annealing aluminum. I know that aluminum sheet metal formers do it all the time.

Very possibly, geezer#99. Those $5 washers wind up costing $21 shipped, so I might hold off for awhile. Thanks!

I just bought the same fuel line last week and read to use copper washers and get rid of their washers especially the Teflon ones.
