Copper crush washer; which is better thick or thin

I've resolved this problem many times by either striking the top of the banjo bolt squarely once assembled and tightened, and then re-tighten it several times. It looks like you won't be able to get a good strike with the caliper bolted in place, so remove the caliper place it on a block of wood or something, and strike the banjo bolt squarely with a good blow. You will know if the strike was sufficient if you can tighten the banjo bolt more.

I've also just tightened, loosen and re-tightened the banjo bolt half a dozen times to get the bolt to seat into the copper washer during the process.

The annealing process eluded to above is another step to get a proper seal. Getting the copper red hot and allowing it to cool without quenching it is a good first step, as well.
Have watched a youtube video making use of hammer and striking the head. Good call on that and the annealing process. Keep hearing about it, Guess it's time to try. Thanks for your comment.
