Hi folks.

I've just taken delivery of four stainless oilway banjo bolts.
I ordered them from: http://www.tastynuts.com/site/frames/frameset_shoponline.htm

I get the impression that they look more like brake line banjo's?
The new ones have a much smaller oilway than the originals, are they likely to starve the top-end of oil?
Also, the new ones have only one hole on the shaft, whereas the original has two, facing each other.

If the threads are correct, I'd probably shorten and drill 'em out personally. Maybe it's just the bodger in me.
Might be worth a phone call/email to pro-bolt to see if they have the exact thing you're after before adapting what you've received.

I was looking for something similar, but I couldn't find them for the same reasons you've just described, for some reason they don't seem to be an "ordinary" items! to be on the safe side I just replaced them with new OEM. I suppose you can always drill a second hole thought

Nooo!!
What you're supposed to say is "yes, they'll be fine, just get the copper washers and...." !
Yeah, maybe i'll bell Pro-bolt tomorrow and just check if they have the right ones, before i set to with the drill.

Cheers y`all.
