    missing banjo bolts from front brakes

    Hi Guys,

    my POL has finally turned up so I can get on with the build.

    During the waiting I have misplaced the banjo bolts for the front brakes. These are from the complete kit

    What thread are they so I can go to my local autocrats store and replace them quickly

    If they are Wilwoods, no banjos on the front. If standard kit brakes, any replacement from your favorite parts place will work.

    You do have to be careful with the length if you have the standard mustang brakes. Some of the banjo bolts at the local auto parts store are too long. Here's the ones that I ordered:

    Also, the instructions show 28 ft-lbs of torque. If you do that the head will pop off. Learned that the hard way. Just snug them up and lightly tighten if leaks show up.
