brodster Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Doing Mklotz's disc brake swap. I have all the parts, but when I pulled out the loader calipers I realized it doesn't include the bolt that goes from the brake hose to the caliper. Besides the Junk Yard, are these pretty standard parts? If so what are the specs? The calipers were ordered from rockauto: Raybestos for 1984 Datsun 720 2wd. Newbie question, but I am in a time crunch here. Thanks Quote Link to comment
dimedriver Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 They are called banjo bolts. Most parts stores have them. I have had good luck with pep boy's but bring your caliper and brake hose with you to test. Parts plus, napa, and Car-quest places are way better. Don't forget you usually need copper washer on both sides of the hose. -Dime Quote Link to comment

brodster Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I will check out some parts stores tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have time to wait on Nissan. Could be a couple days or a few weeks Quote Link to comment
