Default Sealing washer

Does anyone know the size of the sealing washer that is in the high pressure line that goes into the rack body on an 88 xjs?

funny, I don't recall there being a washer there. I thought those fittings were pipe thread and didn't use a washer.

The fittings are flare, there are no washers in a hydraulic system

Default flare thread

if you look at the side that goes into the block where all the other are it is a standard double flair follow the line down to where it goes into the rack body it is a flat type flare in the body of the rack in the seat there is a washer with a molded rubber oring looking thing. This is my leak it shows in the repair kit which is the route I went for 45 from convert west. .So I will measure and post size for future folks looking. This is the only way I could find to buy this part was the whole kit.

Not necessarily. My MG has copper washers on some brake lines
