Brake line banjo bolt needed, 10mm x 1.25mm pitch.

[Arronduke]

My new master cylinder is here and I want to have it up and running for the weekend.

But in true piss me off fashion the original banjo bolt is 10x1.0 pitch and i need 10mm x 1.25mm pitch.

Any idea where I can get one?

Other option is to retap it with a M10 x 1.0 tap but i would perfer not as its a bit rough... mind you thats my second name...:innocent:

Man you're an impatient bugger. Ive sent you the address for pick up to your personal email.

[Arronduke]

I was hoping that there would be a shop I don't know about 2min from work that deliverd and has one in stock for $5.

But no one has offered this information...

cheers

Run the standard stuff man. I'm pulling accidental stoppies with my poxy FXR single disk front end.

come on its only a 40 min drive, lovely fresh country air and all that. Take the whole master cylinder and brake line just to be sure, but dont get to comfortable with it I may actually need it someday.

NO. DO NOT RETAP. There won't be any thread left in the hole and as soon as you squeeze the lever, pop. Assuming it does up at all. If you have access to a drill press and small (2mm) diameter bits, then buy a fine pitch bolt and drill holes.. Just make sure it's clean afterward.

Option 2... I have a lathe at work and all the tools to make one... so if all else fails fridays job.

Sweet. Seriously though, I bought some 10x1.25 cap screws for about 30cents each. I'm sure you could get G8.8 bolts in fine pitch for 5/8 of fuck all. Save you screw cutting etc. If I drill through a threaded section of a bolt I start with a slot drill. Makes a nice flat spot to start your drill in.

Wurth may have them. I may have 1 in my bits at work. Will look tomorrow. Can you get to Penrose

Can't remember, either Ferodo or Braking, ask me on the weekend. I have a spare set in the toolbox.

We have a few spares, you can have one if you can pick it up from the Ellerslie/Penrose area. I have sent a PM with our address.

or just go to the local brake shop with the MC in your hand. Or a wrecker.

Tap an already threaded hole? :facepalm:

Enough thread tape and it should be fine, it's only for his front brake after all, what could possibly go wrong?

[Arronduke]

Welding high tensile steel to ally, with a copper washer in between ?

You will need some unobtanium filler wire for that..
