I am assuming that would be a copper crush washer?
On further examination the washer has to go down into the T piece as the shoulder of the flexi hose does not screw completely down

Thanks for the input.
That seems a bit of a bodge to me. What was the original setup and what have others done in this situation?
Has anyone used a front flexi pipe in place of the rear one?

Look into the t piece. If it’s counter sunk you could use a front pipe as the T & pipe would mate tight.
If the inner T pipe is flat use the correct rear hose.
(When I done the S1 it was flat end & 1copper washer but T pieces have changed over the years)
I have the parts book and pdf's, Nothing tells me why both front and rear T joints are identical but apart from length both hoses have a different fitting at one end. Question is why? I have found the Smithies page, plenty to read there cheers
Edit. I wonder if originally it had an olive fitted, just a thought.
