Default Leaky braided stainless lines HELP QUICK

Hey, I'm in the middle of putting on some Earl's lines and I cannot get them to seal at the calipers. I used new washers and re-used the stockers. I cleaned the surface pretty well.

I need help, please reply quick.

Clean the surface *extremely* well. Make sure you use *new* copper washers on both sides of the banjo fitting and tighten properly. My goodridge lines were torqued to 14ft lbs I believe.No leaks here.

My Earl's lines came with those crappy aluminum seals.

Go to AZ and get some copper seals.
