Default What do the crush washers look like??

So i'm doing a brake swap this weekend (03-07), and i went to Advance to get various tool, fluid, etc. I also picked up and assortment of, what the guy said, were the crush washers i needed for the lines. The look just like normal smooth washers but copper. It that right? I thought they would look similar to the on for the oil drain plug. They don't look like they would "crush" much when torqued down.

Thanks!!

crush washers deform, they can look like a full circle, a circle with a split in it, or a donut (non-flat)

^ Those are the monsters, guess you are going to be doing some brake work. Also get some good brake fluid.
