upgraded fuel rail keeps leaking:(

I have tried 5 times(includes installing/removing) and still no luck. The banjo fitting are the biggest piece of *****. On the rail there brass adapters on the ends, copper washer and the bonjo deal and bolt. To tighten the bolt enough to where theres no leak will not work. The bolt is harder than the brass adapter so what happens,hum, it rips the threads out(just my ******* luck).
Is there any other options I can go with? Even if I removed the banjo bolts it still leaves me with brass fittings.
Does anybody make a rail that does not use joints?

Try replacing the copper washers on the banjo bolt. There should be two of them.
