This, the new dealer ones are smooth. gently wire brush the originals and use a scribe to clean the circular grooves & an option is a very light coat of sealant (I used "the right stuff" on a toughie), no leaks live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

It turned out that the washers sealing surface on the caliper was heavily pitted and the fluid leaked right past the washer.(rebuild CARQUEST calipers) I had to sand the sealing surface to a smooth finish.

I do the same thing with new rocker arms and adjuster jam nuts. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
