Hey, gang. I rebuilt the brake cylinder a couple years ago (sat on a shelf and haven't used) and after I got done bleeding all the lines, I noticed that the copper fitting on top of the cylinder had a very slow and tiny leak. I couldn't tighten the nut anymore without dissembling the cylinder. My question is- could I use regular washers to close the gap and put pressure on the crush washer as seen in the photo or is there a reason why with the rebuild kit, the gap is not closed all the way? It currently is grabbing enough thread to tighten, but is bottoming out against the plunger inside cylinder.
