Help please, What size and thread is the front brake banjo bolt?

[GMan]

I have been told it is the same for all mkiv front brakes, I lost mine somewhere and need a replacement:taped:

Thanks for any help

I have just removed a couple of good ones due to upgrading the lines. I can take to Santapod should any of your mates be there.

[GMan]

Thanks mate but I am in Germany, I really appreciate the offer though! Any way you could measure it?

[vvteye]

do you want me to post it tomorrow?

 

I'll try to measure it whilst awaiting your answer....

ok,

 

Not couunting the bolt head it's 20mm long of which 12mm is threaded. The side hole is 5 mm from the head. It's 8mm wide plus a mm for the thread. It has two copper washers. The hole down the centre is 2-3mm. The hexagonal bolt head is 14mm.

Thank you, That is very kind of you, I'll pay pal you whatever you need for shipping(please send the copper washers too) I was going to pop down to toyota and check in the morning as they can't be too dear I imagine.

sounds like m10 actually which means the thread pitch is either 1 or 1.25

pm me your address Gman. We won't bother with the post costs if it's below a couple of euros.

 

And don't be talking to me about mechanical things like M10's as I managed to drop drop the car of the jack when I did this job today cracking my skirt... ( needed to take the handbrake off and out of gear whist forgetting I took the blocks from the front of the car to put under the backs when I changed the fronts).that's the kind of mechanical dimwit I am

[GMan]

I have Confirmation from toyota it is M10 with a thread of 1.25

 

VVTEYE, I really appreciate your help and generosity but I will grab one tomorrow at the hardware store. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask, and If you come down to the Nurburgring next year, the first pint is on me!

[vvteye]

No worries GMAN... It's what the forum is for and I've had plenty of help off other members so always willing to return it. All the best with the car matey, and if I ever get to the ring, the last thing I'll do before I drive is have a pint

I am an engineer (engines) and though i have knowledge, unlike what most people think, it does not confer mechanical ability, If I were to post up a list of stuff I destroyed while working on my skyline, you wouldn't know weather to laugh or cry, so far on the supra I have only managed to destroy 2 brake calipers!
