banjo bolt thread size

[budd]

I'm fitting braided hoses and need to fit a double lenght banjo bolt ( M/C end), and it's raining outside and I'm not risking getting soaked going to the garage to get may thread gauges, so can someone tell me the size / pitch of the thread so I can order the correct double length bolt I'm guessing it's m10x1.25 but I need to be sure. cheers

Pretty sure its 1.25 pitch IIRC its Brembo that use the 1.0mm pitch.

double banjo ordered, m10x1.25, it was a toss up between 1.00 pitch and 1.25 as couldn't remember for sure which it was but now you mention it I think your right Brembo use the 1.00 pitch and I'm pretty sure it's not UNF so 1.25 it is, (well I hope so way)

went to find out about how bolts etc are categorised the other day.

Is there any way of knowing what is where on a bike? And is 1.25 pitch pretty much the most common?

Def 1.25. I posted the same question a couple of weeks ago. Local dealer wanted £14.50 for a stainless double banjo..got it on ebay for £3.50. I bought the other items from him, hoses etc. Run two seperate lines down to the calipers. One word of warning, only coz I nearly made the error..when measuring the length of hose, and before you make the cut, lift the bike up at the front to extend the forks fully. This will show the longest length as opposed to just measuring from the caliper to the bars..

Maybe not well put..but if you cut the hose neat, then as soon as the forks extend fully, the hose could and will probably burst....NOT GOOD

I also used the old rubber sleeving as padding so the hoses fitted the original fixings to the fork legs. Waste not ..want not..

Good luck
