Last night I installed the passenger side Chevy C1500 brake line on my 2000 Sport AW4. The end of the new line that attaches to the back of the caliper did not seat correctly at first because of a "lip" that is on the caliper - I filed down that lip a bit to make room for the new line mount. I used the copper washers that were included (one between the banjo bolt head and line mount and the other between the line mount and caliper). After bolting it in, am I supposed to see the washer that sits between the caliper and the new line mount - isn't it supposed to "crush" so that the mount sits flush with the caliper so it doesn't leak? There's no fluid in this line yet to test that it leaks because I'm doing the drivers side tonight.
A link to my photos of what I'm describing is below. One pic shows that the line is mounted really close to the bleeder valve (there's actually about 1/8" of a gap between them). Do you foresee problems with the way the line is routed?

Thanks for you input!
