Brake Caliper pipes

Hi all. Found a small copper washer near my wheel, cannot workout where it could have come from on car!

does anyone happen to know whether front or rear brakes have a copper washer!!!! 

The washer centre hole will fit around a brake union ok.. do rears have banjo on them?

    No neither do the fronts only copper washers I know of are for the power steering pipes and they are a lot bigger.

    I had hel lines fitted by a local garage, I did take wheels off to look at pipes but then took car out onto drive next day found washer by front tyre.

    which is why I was worried about whether it came from brakes!

    I had a look down at turbo cos I think this has a banjo with washers ether oil or water , but looks nice and dry!

    starting to think it may have fell out of something in my garage and actually a red herring.

    Most likely the answer mate 😉 

    I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
