NitroTate Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ok guys, I'm thinking I may not find anyone who has seen this before or even knows the manufacturer... If I'm lucky I'll find them or at least a replacement bolt. This is a dual brake setup that has been on my banshee for 7 or 8 years now, I actually like it (other than trying to learn wheelies). The front brake lever was converted into "front AND back" brake. The little junction box in the pic below has that adjustment screw on top to allow me to adjust for more or less pressure on the back vs. the front when the lever is pulled. It mounts up right where you see me holding it up to the master cylinder using the bolt in the next picture. My problem is this bolt is bent and is causing an air leak so I can't get the brakes to bleed or prime! I'm really hoping someone either knows the manufacturer or knows where I might be able to find a replacement bolt just like this one??? Hep me, Hep me!

NitroTate Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ok so might not be so bad, I just found a bunch of online places that have double banjo bolts. Hopefully I can find one locally. At any rate if anyone knows the manufacturer I would still like to know.... thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 If you know anyone with a metal lathe, it looks pretty east to make. That's a neat little setup. If you find out who makes it, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 At any rate if anyone knows the manufacturer I would still like to know.... thanks! I have never seen a setup like that before. Interesting......... :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoholbanshee Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have never seen a setup like that before. Interesting......... :geek: Very, very interesting......... I would get a hold of Galfer, I am sure they have something like that laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayr742003 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroTate Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, I think it was intended for dragging but even though I'm not much of a dragger I really kind of like it. Less to think about when things get hairy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroTate Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ok guys, another question for any brake experts out there... The banjo bolt I have is a "double banjo" however inside the housing that it goes through (pic above) there is only 1 hole for the fluid to travel through, not two. Do I absolutely NEED a double banjo or do you think a single on will work? Does anyone know the exact purpose of a "double" banjo? Is it for attaching 2 banjo fittings on 1 bolt typically?

Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 the double banjo is to help disperse the fluid more evenly. with the center ridge on the double blot it will block the fluid. I have seen that banjo bolt used on honda motorcycles. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBADbansHEE01 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) I would check with Lonestar Racing because they make a dual front brake setup that uses the same type of banjo fitting. You also might want to check with a local automotive speed shop in your area. Edited March 18, 2008 by OneBADbansHEE01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroTate Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have a friend that said he might have one so hopefully he does, if not I'll have to check with a speed shop or something. I did find them online though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_on_the_sand Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 That's a nice setup... Any idea who makes that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
