The banjo bolt is missing on one of the calipers of the 312 brake set up I've just bought from ebay (I was aware of this when I bought them) I didn't think this would be an issue but it might be turning in to one ! just been to the Audi dealer and the banjo bolt isn't even listed as a spare on the fiche, Anybody have any idea where I can get one from ? will it be the same as the one already in my standard vrs caliper ? if so I could use one of them when I swap, don't want to take my existing banjo bolt out to check and have to re-bleed my brakes if one of you guys/gals can tell me.

Never seen this type of thread in a brake banjo bolt before! its very coarse 10mm dia.

regards, rob

i used the same bolt from my old setup if i remember correctly

It comes with the flexi hose.

if that dosent work drop me a pm

i have a couple of spares;)

same thread on both bolts , so nothing to worry about , just watch that you get them sealed , my copper washers allowed some seepage and took the paint off the back of the caliper

oh and the original flexi-hoses will do anyway , so no need to swap them , just adjust the mounting bracket on the shocker down slightly to give the pipe some slack

Thanks for the advice guys, looks like nothing to worry about ! I'll use the existing bolt's and pipes then
