Have a good one eh!

The part the Paul is talking about is a distribution block that mounts to the frame. There's a hard line coming out of each end of the block and the bolt passes through the block. The bolt has a holes in it that allows the fluid to pass through it. The drivers side brake line attaches to the threaded end of the Bolt. The copper crush washer is there to seal it. Without it there would definitely be a leak.
