Remote reservoir fitting

Hi, I have had a nightmare fitting the spigotted bung in the back of the new Master cylinder. I have got it to stop leaking for 12 hours, but it leaks after that. There isn't any pressure on this and I followed the fitting instructions ie use the new bung and the existing copper washer.
I first tried the renewing the lot and thought, might as well renew the master cylinder while it's out. Tried to get it to stop leaking 3 weeks before the national rally. Lost count of how many times I drained it, tightened it a bit re-filled it. tried adding PTFE all no use. Put the old cylinder back in, put the bung in that, still leaks. Has anyone out there had the same problem and found a solution. Please help I'm booked in at the national but won't be going unless I can get it fixed. Cheers Simon
