Where can I find some banjo bolts?
Seems stupid question, I know, but recently bought some Wilwood Supelite 6pot brakes that have 1/8-27 NPT thread on calipers for fitting the brake hoses!
Unfortunately as we have metric system can't find banjo bolts for my brakes and I don't know where to buy them or order them!
I really apreciate it if someone can help me or point me to a shop that sells them.

www.raldes.co.uk - they are the importer for these calipers in the UK and can supply you adaptors to fit into the calipers to use a conector to fit , I dont think they do banjo bolts in that thread though

Braided Steel or Think Automotive. Both highly recommended, both will do imperial banjo bolts, don't forget the copper washers to go with them.
Edited to say both will mail order.

You're not wrong. But I can't belive Willwood would make calipers that have a non-standard thread in that no-one can connect to. I suspect that 1/8 x 27 NPT is the same as 1/8 BSP but with a tapered thread.
Try asking for 1/8 BSP banjo bolts. Still might not work though as the bolt might bottom out in the taper before it seals on the copper washers under the banjo head. In that case you'll need to fit a male male adaptor in the caliper with a more common male thread on the outlet to connect to, M10 x 1 or 7/16 x 24.
Where are you? If you take your caliper to one of these places they'll make something fit, they have huge range of stuff in stock and can adapt anything to anything. Failing that get some calipers with proper threads....

Try to contact Raldes first as main Wilwood dealer and if they can't find me a solution I'll see!
My front discs are warped though a month now and worry if they cost me new front wheel bearings until I fit my new brakes!
Thanks
