Where in UK (North Cambs/South Lincs if possible) can I get hold of 9/16
(id) x 7/8 (od) copper washers to fit a banjo connector for a hydraulic
brake system?

I've tried everywhere I know (and lots I've never heard of)

Cheers

I would try industrial hydraulic places.
Motorcycle shops sell 14mm hole copper washers (which is very close to 9
sixteenths) or at least I did at a Suzuki dealership

When I needed some funny connectors for the Rebel's brake system, Automec
had them in an envelope to me almost before I'd finished saying what I
wanted. I'd try them.

Similar to the type used on fuel systems? Burlen?

Could it be because most hydraulic systems now use aluminium washers for

May be worth giving them a call ...

Yes, hence the spate of brake systems in VAG motors dumping brake fluid
across the road when the ally washer anodises away with the road salt
(nice).

There's a lot to be said for copper washers, but if in doubt, turn your own.

A local toolmaker / engineering firm can probably sort you out cheaply.
