So I've got some new hose clamps and some that I've had sat around for a while, both 5mm, the new ones have come with 2 different sized brass washers, for the banjo 2 large to seal banjo to the hex nut and for the straight cnnector one large for connector to master cylinder, but each of the bajo and straight connectors also have a small brass washer that my old connectors did not have.
Question is do I need the small washers as the old connectors are the same in every other way but don't have them, if I do need them where do they go and where can I get soem spares for my older connectors? Can't see any on CRC.
I bought some here 10 in a pack for a quid, + postage

Are they not the larger ones? I've got them it's the smaller ones that were in the packet that I've no idea where they do or whether I actually need them as my older (still 5mm) connectors did not have them.
Can't find an exploded picture on the net of a 5mm connector to highlight the two sized washers or see where they would go.
Are the smaller washers something to do with newer brakes, the mono minis were probably the latest brakes when I bought the old connectors.
I bought these for my Tech 4's they go onto the brass bit that goes into the hose and then screws into the lever assy , goes between the lever assy and the brass bit. 😀
