I'm replacing the calipers, brakes, and brake lines on my 05 Scion tC. The calipers nor the brake lines came with banjo bolt washers. Toyota wants to charge $16 per side and they won't be available until Tuesday.
I went to Auto Zone and got a doorman kit which came with 4 pairs of different sized copper washers. The 4 pairs have slightly different external circumferences but the inner diameters are the same. Only 1 pair matches the original aluminum (?) washers external circumference, the remaining are slightly larger.
My question is, can I use the slightly larger washers or do they have to match perfectly? Also, the washers have a flat and rounded side. Does it matter which component I place the flat side on?

Rounded and flat surfaces
The lip on this washer concerns me.
