Difference?

There may already be answers to this but i couldnt find any so...
Are the Banjo bolts between the stock single piston caliper and the LS1 caliper different?
I tried to tighten the stock bolt onto a LS1 caliper and it pulled the threads right out.
Hopefully if the bolts are a different size there is enough thread left in the caliper to work.
Thanks guys for any info.

Re: Difference?

i found that with the c5 calipers, which are pretty much the same, the banjo threads are a finer thread than the stock threads

Re: Difference?

Yeah i went to the yard today and picked up 2 bolts for 5 bucks
The bolts are also longer which is good. The other bolt wasnt able to strip all the threads out. haha lucky me.
