"cone washers" on brakes
I just bought a used set of disc brakes off of ebay. when I received them I realized that the guy that I bought them from left out the dome shaped washers that allow you to adjust the position of the brakes. Are these washers universal and are they usually available at bike shops?

Yeah I realized that last night as I was laying in bed. I contacted the seller and he told me that my brakes don't use those washers. They are Hayes HFX hydraulics. Can anyone confirm this?

You may use some shims for disc brakes, but other then that those radiused washers are for rim brakes only.
