Did your kit or specifically the master come with new copper washers? A lack of new washers being included was one of the annoyances I had with a Kanter kit some 10 years ago. The reason given at that time was because they were not included with the original parts they were not part of a kit and needed to be ordered separately. The old ones were expected to be reused.

There was a lively discussion then about a complete kit being advertised means just that -- complete -- and to not include them was disappointing. I had heard they were being included now and was curious. After the discussion, they did offer to send some free to anyone asking.

Some wheel cylinders use the washers but finding the two somewhat odd sizes locally that are needed in the brass block connection to the master was not easy. It came down to finding something that worked or waiting another week or so.
