I checked a few vendors but can't seem to find it. I see the block type line splitters but not the banjo type with the through bolt. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 424 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 424 | Actually now that I think about it, I don't need the fitting itself, just the bolt and new copper washers. Anyone know where I can find these? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | You might try the flaps, too. They should have the copper gaskets (washers), possibly the bolt too. Take the old one so that the thread pitch can be verified (should be fine threads).

A good stovebolt buddy came to my rescue but I did see them as mentioned above in JimCarters catalog. The FLAPS around here have the compression washers but I would have to buy TWO packs just to get the size I needed. The packs cost as much as we can order the bolt WITH washer from Carters.
I forgot to check NAPA which usually has that around here. I'll check it tomorrow!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | do ya have a local Hydraulic line place ??... Mine has always had everything I ever needed ..My local shop is called Brake Drum & Eqpt... they have or can make any high pressure line you may ever need and there parts (washers ,banjo bolts) there price is usually better than the local FLAPS..an ya get exactly what ya want ! no mixin this an that to MAKE IT WORK.
Just my 2 cents

P.S. usually you can find a line shop close to a Truck Stop .. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Tim, never gave the hyd place a thought. There is a couple in nearby in my hometown and I believe one of my old school buddies may still run it. I'll give NAPA around here a shot and if no luck I'll check when I go over to see my nephew. I only need 4 or them suckers but refuse to buy two packs just to get them!!
Thanks Tim | | |
