Volvo brake conversion

Post by richmcd1969 »

I am converting my 69 2000 over to Volvo brakes, and using the manifold design. I am trying to order the 10mm x 1.0 single banjo bolts, and was wondering if anyone could tell me whether to purchase the .425" banjo height or the 8mm height.

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

Call me thick headed but I am not quite sure what you mean. If you order the 10MM x 1.0 banjo bolts they should work fine. You need to use a crush washer on the top an bottom of the manifold to get a good seal. A .425" height equals 10.795 MM and an 8MM would equal .315".

Thanks Steve,

The reason I asked, is that when I went to American Street Rod to order the banjo bolts, the 10mm x 1.0 showed up under 2 different categories, both with the same part number, but different "banjo heights", one being the 0.425" and the other being 10mm. I was hoping that someone else had been down this path and I could avoid ordering the wrong part.

Thanks again,

Rich

Okay, I see the light now. I know I have the correct size but it has been a long time since I ordered them. I did not realize they specified two sizes with the same part number. Once we get this sorted out I will add that to the write-up. I understand why you want to get the correct part the first time. :lol:

Rich,

Go to summit and order them from there. They only list one part and it does work. You want the EAR-997517ERL . Here is the link. They are actually cheaper for a pair.

Sorry for the confusion. Someone else did point that out to me a while ago but I forgot all about it.
