#441269 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 5500 tell me about brakelines. i need to get informed. 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   hey guys i need to tap into your minds again. so im looking at making my own brakeline ( well, using this build your own ) and i have a rotor/pulley combo unit that is made for a harley davidson. best i can tell the caliper is made for a 3/8 banjo bolt. so can i use a 10mm banjo with a 3/8" banjo bolt? cause the company dont offer 3/8" banjos with there build your own kits and 3/8" is 9.5250mm.   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/jasonwoody/ email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441272 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12505 Re:tell me about brakelines. i need to get informed. 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I would say it depends on how much sealing surface you have under the head. Keep in mind that you are going to be short .2375 mm on each side. Maybe you could tap the caliper out to fit a 10mm banjo bolt.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441275 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:tell me about brakelines. i need to get informed. 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I would think so because the bolt is always smaller in normal condition so the fluid can pass through. The copper washers on both sides of the banjo does the sealing anyway.   Logged     JGR   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441277 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

They're interchangeable as far as I know. 3/8"=.375" 10mm = .394" that's a .019" difference a little over 1/64 of an inch. You'll be fine!!
