Default Re: '69 Camaro brake caliper problems and questions

doubling wont work, two smooth surfaces will leak for sure, tried it in desperation also, even knowing better, the thing I noticed is the small ridges on the caliper that are supposed to cut a small groove into the washer and make the seal was very faint/pitted on my rebuilt calipers, they did not appear to be resurfaced at all, that's when I finally gave up and assumed they were junk,

I agree the new thin washers cant be helping much and I also started thinking after the car left I was wondering if the bolt was bottoming out a little and not providing a good crush? do to thin washers,

maybe spin your bolt in and make sure it threads in plenty deep for good crush?.
