Question Rear brakes (pads and copper washer)

Hey Don,

Need some help.

I've found part of my car's braking problems - the rear brake on the passenger's side leaks under pressure. The leak is from the fitting between the caliper and the brass block; apparently the copper gasket/washer isn't sealing properly.

Here is a picture of the copper gasket/washer (please ignore the fibers from the paper towel):


Here is a picture of the brass fitting on the caliper:


Where the heck do I get four of these copper gasket/washers?

Next question: what sort of brakes are these? They came installed on the 9" rear that Classic provided. I'd like to get some new pads for the calipers just in case the pads have been damped by brake fluid. Here is a picture:


As always, thanks for the help Don!!!
