Copper washers in caliper box

[p00flakes]

Hi all, I am in the process of installing 5th gen front calipers on my 2006 Sport V6, and noticed that there are two copper washers along with the "pad spreader" springs in the caliper box (I ordered new Raybestos calipers). Based on my research, it seems that the washers are for a banjo bolt fitting? However, I do not see where on the caliper I could install these washers. I seem to have a hard brake line (which is OEM as far as I know) that screws into the caliper, so perhaps don't need the washers? Any advice? Thanks!

If you don't have a "banjo" fitting for your brake fluid supply line, then no, you don't need the copper washers.

Awesome, thank you!
