stacking copper washers?

Post by Trench_rat »

So im in the middle of my +t conversion on td27 , im fitting up the oil feed to the turbo and find that the only banjo bolt i have left is a little too long so the copper washers are not crushing up and sealing properly , could i simply put two washers on each side of the banjo?

or get a shorter banjo? :wink: i wouldnt think it would leak out past two each side, but pays to do it properly, esp being that its the oil lines!
