Turbo Oil Feed Banjo Bolt - 7/16x24 UNF?

[billy187]

Need a banjo bolt for the oil feed on turbo side (standard turbo) - is 7/16x24 UNF the correct size?

I seem to remember having a problem in the past with the bolt being too long and needing to be cut down, is this still the case or can you buy smaller length bolts?

Will the following do the job?

I know its M12 x 1.25 not sure what that is in UNF

M12 x 1.25 is the correct size for the banjo into the block, I'm after the one that fits into the turbo itself.

Think the turbo one is smaller M11 x 1.0 but not 100%

7/16x24 is the correct thread, the length of the banjo bolt depends on the thickness of the banjo fitting on the oil feed as they can vary depending on who its made by. And the hole in the turbo isn't that deep so you just need to make sure the bolt dosen't bottom out.

Cheers thanks Mark, think il give Hose Solutions a ring as the oil feed is off them to see if they can help, if not guess the one in the link is worth a try.

Just to confirm for future reference, 7/16x24 is the correct thread for the turbo side and Hose Solutions were able to sort me out.
