a lot of guys ditch the banjo fitting and go to an fittings for the oil feed lines, another option for you-check the local bone yard for a caliper feed bolt of the same size or even a local auto parts.

i have been to every parts store in the area and no one has a crush washer of the size i need....they are either barely too small or way too big....
as long as the line ends up comming with them, then i will have em tomorrow or friday....which will give me plenty of time to get everything else done.....

i was thinking of getting the AN fittings, but thats just longer i will have to wait for parts and more money to spend....that i dont have right now[&:]
