Default Brass banjo washers & inverted flare lines

All the calipers each came with 2 brass banjo washers. The new steel braided hose kit only came with 2 in total. All the new lines and fittings are inverted flare. I am pretty sure i dont need to use them anywhere do i? I cant see any where that i would need these washers?

Don't you just love it when you spend good money on mechanical 'stuff' and the vendor is too cheap to put instructions with it? Call the company to complain; then don't buy anything from them again. It's the only way to put this "train" back on the right rails. They only understand it when it hits their wallet.

Washers go between flex hose and front caliper. Only place. 2 per car. No washers between hardlines and flex lines. No washers in the back.

Awesome i thought so. Thank you for the replies. No the calipers are not interchangeable, they go to a specific corner of the car too. The stuff all came from Napa, they are re man calipers, so i was lucky they came in boxes. One came in a bag lolol.
