Default Garret Banjo Bolts?

Anyone knows anyone other than ATP preferably on the east coast that carries Banjo Bolts for Garrett Turbos?

The size I'm looking for is 12x1.50

Damn situation has got me twisted in that this is the only reason I can't put my motor back in

^ Thanks the bolt is half the price of what ATP is trying to charge but they are located in the west coast. I'm trying to find something on the east coast but if I can't find it locally I guess I will have to order from there.

I'm trying to take advantage of the Holiday's to get the motor back in the car last week it was the fitting that I have on the new oil line was too small for the banjo bolt and now the new banjo fitting head is too wide so I can't get the banjo bolt lined up.

I found these which is from a local motorcycle shop but don't know how the chrome finish would hold up to the heat

Going there tomorrow and cross my fingers it's the correct length so I can finally make some headway

This was my original problem



This is my current problem



This is my demon bolt



Don't know why it tapers wider after the thread part if it was straight I would have had no issues with the original fitting


Looks like motorcycle mall is closed until January 3rd =0((

I might have to go back to the original fitting and have a machine shop machine out the fitting if I want to get this done for this weekend

I would suggest if you buy new bolts to also buy the other piece if you dont know that yours will fit. Summit is quick with shipping for me since they are in Atlanta. I can order something on a thursday night and have it on my porch on friday by lunch.

Get that G of yours back on the road!

Nice let's see what they can do for me

I got a schedule with Vince @ RT for January 20th which I'm trying to keep

The problem with getting the fitting together with the bolt all I'm seeing is the fittings going to a -6AN male where I need a -4AN male

I'll get both bolts listed and cross my fingers that they fit the 12mm fitting I have that goes to a -4AN male

Thanks Rob I called up and spoke to John
He found 2 but I think he said it belonged to a turbo kit
and that he would call me back so I guess that was a no go
on breaking up the kit.

The order from Summit Racing has already shipped so I'm crossing my fingers that it is right.

Some more Eye candy since everyone seems to be posting pics of their turbos today ^_^

The APS documentation is wrong

I got the bolts from Summit Racing Saturday and they didn't fit.
The only other M12 banjo bolt I see available for turbos is a M12x1.25.

I took the bolt to Lowe's and tested it and the thread pitch is 1.25.
I ended up drilling the banjo hole slightly bigger.The banjo also wouldn't line up with the hole on the turbo because it couldn't clear the bolt for the turbo so I had to grind it on one side which was the same thing APS did on their fitting for the same reason.

I used the same banjo bolt but opened up the fitting a bit so the banjo bolt could fit through
