The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Name that part ... Banjo bolt with center hole?

Is this part available. I see the blocks on Jim Carter but not the bolt. Thanks for input boltbuddies!

weewilly,

The original part number for that bolt is GM# 3696542 (Parts Group 4.661).

Dimensions specifications from the Parts Books indicate:

Overall Length = 1-11/32"

1/2" x 20 external thread end (fits into the master cylinder end cap through the Block)

7/16" x 24 internal thread (hole in end of bolt head with inverted flare at bottom for brake line connection)

3/4" hex head (bolt head outer dimensions)

I haven't been able to find anyone that currently carries or remanufactures that "banjo" bolt. Your best bet if at all possible is to try and salvage the bolt for reuse.

That Part# is listed for use on 1951-54 Passenger cars (most with manual brakes), 1951-54 1/2 Ton trucks and 1955-57 3A series (1/2 Ton) trucks with manual brakes and standard transmissions. These would be potential donor vehicles if you can't salvage yours.

Thanks for info. Been using lots of Kroil after renting a power washer with oil burner. Gave underside a steam bath. Will give a good cleaning and re-use. I appreciate your response. I grew up as a kid driving the 53 1/2 ton. Getting closer.....

It takes about 15 minutes to make that bolt on my lathe. Drop me a PM and I'll be glad to make one if you can't find a source for the original part.

Try Speedway. They have a large selection of brass fittings like that. Also try Filling Station.
