Size of the brake hose copper washers / gaskets

Hello,

I did a search on the board but didn't find anything.

I need to replace, in the coming days, the front and rear brake hoses and I am looking for the exact size of the copper gaskets / washers needed for the job (it seems they are only needed for the front calipers according to the shop manual).

I didn't find the size in my shop manual too.

So some may say, "remove the old ones and you'll get the answer", but I don't want to take the risk of parking my car for several days because I will not find the right size locally.

Just for the information, my car is an '84 Trans AM with 100% stock brake setup.

Thanks for your help !!

Use either 10mm or 3/8" sized crush washers, they'll work fine.
