Quick brake question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm on break until the wife gets home before I can make a run to the auto parts store. I put a few new brake lines on today. Even though my bends are not real pleasing to the eye the are free of leaks. After pumping up the pedal I did a quick walk around. It appeared that one of the lines I have not replaced is leaking. It turns out that the fitting that the line goes into is the culpret. I took it apart and cleaned it up and reassembled it. I is still leaking. My first thought is to replace the copper/brass washers to achieve a seal. Am I over looking anything?

Thanks Don
