I thought about that as well.
Who can you get good copper washers from??
Tried what came with the conversion kit and ones from O'Reilly's and AutoZone.

could be;

weak grooves (although many fittings are smooth)
caliper fitting land is not flat
overtightening and distortion - breaker bar not required
surrounding cast interference with fitting orientation
combination of issues

as for copper washers, I've used dozens of brands and 'close' sizes without issue

good read on the subject - good luck!
