    Banjo Bolts

    I am replacing the front donor calipers on my car with the PBR Front calipers that FFR supply. I need to purchase the flex lines and fittings. Is someone able to tell me the length of the banjo bolts for the FFR set up on the front calipers ?

    Wish I could tell you specs but I don't have them handy. I have found that if your setup uses banjo bolts there seem to be two very common sizes. They are either metric or fractional. Length does vary some but not much in my experience. One way to get what you need would be to get your lines from Forte or Breeze and tell them you need banjo bolts for the PBRs. I am sure either will have them.

    Both are metric, some are fine some are course. Guessing on which, take the caliper to the parts store and get a banjo that fit it. Not much help, but they are M-10. Richard

    Ok... thanks guys. I have established that they are Metric Fine... so it would look like M10 x 1.0. I will look at the local parts store.

    Just in case you don't have them pick up some brass or aluminum washers too. I have found I have much less leaks if I always use new washers. Those banjo bolts have so much metal missing that I am scared to tighten them too much.
