Banjo Bolts

Post by spiderbob79 »

Just received some parts I ordered from AR to rebuild the front and rear brakes on my 79 spider. The site said
the Banjo bolts fit all years except 85 1/2,but they're about 3mm longer than my old ones and they bottom out.
I'm just wondering if the 85 1/2 used a longer bolt and that's what I got? Anyone know if NAPA would carry them?

Thanks for any info someone might have!

Have you called Csaba and Ramzi? I'm sure if there is an issue, they will go sideways to sort it out!

Hi,
1985.5s did not use banjo bolts. I doubt it's something you could get locally.
Please send us a message so you know who you are and we'll sort it out.
Thanks,
Csaba

I plan on calling Csaba on Monday or Tuesday to see if shorter bolts are available. Maybe a couple extra washers
would work but not sure if that would cause any problems. Anyway they have always been great to deal with, so
there shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for all the great info on this site,it's much appreciated.
