Banjo Bolt size

wishingforls1 · 10-26-2003, 02:26 AM

HI, New to the board. I have been trying upgrade my 97 Grand Prix brakes to 98+ f-body calipers w/ 12' Intrigue rotors on the front . Being my first brake job I have ever done, the back took a couple days...broke a couple rachets, 7 years of rust built up on everything. well to get to the point, I am going on roughly 9 days of not having a car. I stripped my first caliper, so i ordered a new one wich took 3 bus. days to come in. now I get the new one and i lightly strip the new one. This is when i find out i need a diff. banjo bolt. Well no one has a listing for it and the dealerships dont stock them. This is getting kind of excessive, figuring i have to drive to work mon - fri. and have been relying on rides the past week. I have the part number and i did a search. Does anyone know the size, i know its fine thread, but I need deminsions so I can pick it out of a misc. banjo bolt bin at pep boys.

If I understand your question correctly, you have 98 F-Body calipers, and need to know the banjo bolt size/threads. You would be more likely to find the answer among 98-02 owners, most of whom will be found on "LS1 Tech". Moving thread there....

Just went thru this looking for a LS1 brake banjo bolt, and the size is M10 x 1.0. Figured I'd add this to this old thread for someone who may need the info and looks it up in the archives!

You don't know what one is, but you need one

Its a bolt with a hole in the center, and some side holes. It attaches the brake hose to the caliper, and allows a 90 deg connection which fluid flows thru the bolt.
