Technical Banjo bolt needed

I have this same problem and would greatly appreciate any help with this or maybe even a link to find this bolt. Mines rusted too much

 

I looked extensively for the bolt. In the end, another member was able to provide me one they had sitting in a shelf. Very lucky to have found one. I have the old one that I have removed. It would need some work on the threads but I would send it to you.

I would take any help I can get. Mine is corroded beyond any repair

 

They make taps that cut the threads and the inverted flare seats at the same time. I'd try McMaster Carr.

 

Send me you address and I will mail it. It will take some work on the threads but if they sell the flare sets you should be able to make it work. scott

 

Michael watson P.O. Box 495 Angleton tx 77516. I would appreciate it and if you leave a return address I will pay you for it. I am getting close to finishing up the sheet panel work on cab and it may all fall into place

 

Wondering if your doing a points restoration on the truck. If not use a different master cylinder
Ford use used several banjo bolts maybe look at Ford catalog

 

I am a little late to this party but I know 59 chevy trucks used a similar looking banjo bolt in the front that went through a block and then the frame. I was never able to find a source of new ones but there was one floating around on ebay. I guess the earlier TF trucks split the lines at the rear of the MC and the later ones did it at the driver side wheel?

 

I think you are correct. At least on my 56 The split is at the master cylinder under driver seat. When my master cylinder went out I had to heat up the old banjo bolt and block to get it to release. Fouled the threads. Lucky for me, another member had a spare. I will pass mine along and, with a new thread kit, he should be able to make it work.
I have received the best advice and help from this group. The people are awesome.

 

The package I mailed to you just returned as “non deliverable”. Is there another address?

 

Here is what came back

 

I just went through this same ordeal on my build. I ordered what I thought was the right block and bolt from a parts source, but it was the wrong size. So I just decided to make my own. Not a simple task, and one needs a lathe to do it. Just want to post that it can be made. Might not be in your plan though.

Personally, id pick the one up from Summit that was mentioned above, but call first and make sure it's a 1/2". I have one on my 62 willys pickup but didn't want to disturb a good working hydraulic system to check.

Pics of what I made.

 

I can't see how that is possible, but am intrigued to see such a beast. Could you send a link?

 

Yes, please do. That was something I thought long and hard about. (Looked like a 2-act operation to me!)
