Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
Looking to replace the flex hose banjo fittings on the front drum brakes of my 1970 K10 1/2 ton. They are tapped to accept a 7/16-20 male thread on the flex line and use a 7/16-20 banjo bolt to the brake cylinder. They are a little odd in that the fitting creates a 45 degree angle between the line and the wheel. Can't seem to find anywhere! Also, if anyone went to a "plan B" on this, please let me know what you did. I have one that I could probably re-use, but out of luck on the other side.

Re: Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
This is getting views but no info. Maybe try a brake shop? Meaning a store that specializes in brake parts rather than the usual suspects.

Re: Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
IIRC, the aftermarket hoses bypass that fitting, can't remember. If that fitting goes to a short brake line then to hose, the aftermaket hoses bypass that. Not sure, don't take my word for it. (I know, I'm a lot of help!)

Re: Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
Why replace the banjo fitting? Get new washers, and unless they've been mangled they last forever.

I'm pending my 3rd set of replacements, and of course none have that fitting. None have quite fit right into the cross member brackets, though I hear Dorman's do. Rebestos pending, if those don't work, I just recalled a local can set me up. Should have done that to begin with, the fittings are nuts.

Re: Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
Try looking at Inline Tube (www.inlinetube.com). They have a lot of the brass fittings and hard to find brake parts.

Re: Advice on where to get a banjo fitting
I find the best place is at a good bluegrass festival.
There's usually a vendor there that can build you a banjo that's comfortable to play
