Usually they come with that tee that comes with the wheel cylinder.. Probably have to find them used.... I can look through my old parts and see if I still have them... 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 The 620 used similar bolt. Not the same part number but can't see why they would change it. Quote Link to comment

The diameter and threads are wrong.... Sae vs metric.... But you can use the entire assembly if buying new.... Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 If you know the size, you can buy new ones. Probably 3.8-24, but that's just a guess - https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/brake-fittings?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=banjo+bolt https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/brake-fittings/fitting-size-1/3-8-in-24?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=banjo+bolt Quote Link to comment

I forgot they had the bleeder threaded into the banjo.... Looks like this.... And dats_mandersun I'm not gonna have it mine were junk... Converted to disk instead.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Banjos with bleeder do exist but I'd be concerned with length and the location of the cross hole.... Might be best to buy new wheel cylinders with the fittings..... That other picture came from parts available on ebay... just checked rockauto and the don't give you the tee or the bolt... make sure its listed on what ever you get.... You can also use the ones for the early 620, but you'll have to cut the end off the brake line and put a metric fitting on... 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Forgot about the bleeder... Quote Link to comment

The 620 had metric threads, the 521 had SAE threads, but you can use the early front 620 brake wheel cylinder on the 521 as long as you use the 521 fitting that the brake line connects to, it does not care if the banjo bolt has metric threads or a bleeder there also. I have a few of them banjo bolts, but I do not know if they are SAE or Metric anymore, I do not have anything to compare them too as I have disc brakes on all my 520/521 trucks now. 1 Quote Link to comment
