Banjo Bolt Supplier

[Aardee]

Any idea where I might be able to get a 300mm long M14 banjo bolt?? - Volvo do one that's (a) too short & (b) over 40 quid!!!

All help gratefully received...

Cheers,

Graham.

Probably not what you're looking for, but you could spend an interesting afternoon at Barry Dew's banjo repair workshop in Chapel Market, near the Angel, Islington.

Entrance was through a chip shop (I kid you not), and then up the back stairs. Wonder if it's still there.

Are you sure about the size? 300 mm is 12"!!

Well spotted...should read 30mm

I'm a Pillock.

try your local hydraulic hose or pipe supplier, they should be able to help, sounds like a stock size.

alternatively, you may be able to get your freindly engineering firm to do a lathe job if you have a bolt the right size.

just out of interest, are you connecting it to the sump drain plug?

Demon Tweeks do some at about £4. Only 25mm though

It's the main "fuel out" connector from the diesel tank.

Screw a compression fitting or hosetail into it if you cant find one, then connect that into your pipework.

Or make it, not that hard to do if you have access to a lathe.

True, but for the sake of a fiver...
