Caliper banjo bolts

Anyone have any luck with getting them at the local auto parts stores? Autozone doesn't have a clue, had to show them a picture. Oreally's has to order them. and is 7/16 x 20 the correct size for the early trucks?

My '82 K20 uses 10mm bolts. Rebuilt calipers are like 20 bucks, probably best to replace those old ones.

73-77 uses 7/16 and 78-> uses 10mm.

Nothing wrong with the old calipers but they could probably use a rebuild which would be far cheaper.

You can find them in the "Help!" section. Just saw them at Oreilly a few days ago.

Yes, look in the HELP section. Autozone has them there too, no one working there had a clue.

Re: Caliper banjo bolts

Also Harley Davidson calipers use banjo bolts in 10mm and 12mm. With different style fastener head. Could get you out of a jam.
