Default Stainless steel brake lines

Planning on putting stainless steel brake lines (to calipers) on 1975 Corvette. Do I need copper washers on both ends of the line??

Copper washers are only on the caliper end of the lines, front calipers only.

Yep. They go between the rubber line on the front and the caliper.
