S1 brake questions

Hello all,
I recently purchased a 1960 Alpine that has been sitting for at least 20 years (runs great BTW) and I have been going through all the brake components. I have all most everything I need but I am missing the O-ring/rubber gasket that goes in between the two caliper halves. Does any one know the part # or availability of this?
Also, is there supposed to be a copper washer between the caliper and brake hose? There was one there when I removed everything, but neither the caliper rebuild kit or brake hoses came with a washer. Thanks guys!

I've always reused the rubber washer and had no problems. The copper washers are available at any parts store. You might want to take your hose so they can find the right size.

Moss Motors sells that rubber seal-look under MG or Triumph disk brake assembly.

Sunbeam specialties sells the calipher oh kits, brake pistons, and the calipher half seals. The copper crush washer is available at any good a/p store about a buck and a quarter each
