Washer question for part 90401-10015
Can anyone tell me what size copper washer is required for part 90401-10015 (the union bolt that connects the brake line to the calipers)? Not sure what the M size is, I know that the head diameter for the bolt is 14mm, but I don't know if that also applies to the washer.
Information on inner diameter and washer thickness is what I am looking for. Thank you for any reply.

You said "any reply"..
I grew up with a diesel car and the fuel line needs to be air tight [else the fuel compressor goes bonkers]. Banjo bolts [which allow 90 degree turn of fluid with passage in the bolt] deploy copper washers. They provided crushable yet smooth surface. After being stranded in cold winter night [air in the diesel fuel], my learning has been plunk the extra $2 [could $7 now] and get an OEM part from the dealer. Let Lexus pay shipping and handling.
