    Is there a cross reference for the 12mm fuel banjo bolts?

    I've got the car 95 percent put back together and I busted a single banjo bolt. Does anyone know a cross reference bolt so i can go down to AutoZone and buy a bolt? I found this thread but not sure if it ended up working. http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?81...ght=banjo+bolt

    I hate to have to order one lone bolt from a delorean vendor. Any help appreciated.

    Sorry, I believe it's a 8mm banjo bolt. Delorean part #102343

    Go to a junk yard and find an old Mercedes or Volvo with K-Jet. You should be able to get the fuel bolt you need.

    That sounds like even more work than ordering a single bolt. Plus I think the nearest junkyard is an hour away. I appreciate the idea though. Weird that a bolt would be this hard to get.

    Just order it. I did the same thing when I replaced my fuel lines. I spent 2x on shipping as what I paid for the bolt, but didn't have much choice. These aren't readily available anywhere but a vendor.

    Support your local vendor

    There has got to be something else you need anyway that'll offset the cost of shipping a single banjo bolt. Buy some spare oil/air filters, belts, etc.

    www.voluparts.com has them, but that probably won't help you unless you're in or near Atlanta.

    Nope, just spent over $300 from two different vendors, don't need nothing but a bolt. I ordered the bolt but I also called Toyota to order one of those bolts to see if they will work in a pinch. I was curious since we never heard back from him.

    Find some small foreign car shop that works on old Porches/Volvos/BMWs etc.

    A local BMW dealer may have what you need. The E24 6-Series and a few other Bimmers used K-Jet. I was in a similar pinch last spring and the dealer had 11mm and 12mm banjos on hand. Good Luck
