GM metric calipers leaking.
Both the calipers are leaking where the banjo fittings connect.
I removed the fitting and the calipers look a bit rough where the aluminum spacer is supposed to seal. These calipers came with the front brake kit for a mustang II that I purchased from Speedway Motors about 5 years ago and I am finally putting it together. Just wondering if any of you have had a similar problem. Ed

Try using the copper washers, also get thicker ones as they will help seal a rougher surface as they allow for more crush.

Thanks for the reply but I already tried that.
I had copper spacers the right size and they leaked just as bad as the aluminum ones. Ed

Maybe the banjo bolt is bottoming out before it gets tight enough. Maybe check to see how far they screw in just to be sure.
