R50/53 HELP! Need rear brake line banjo bolt ASAP
HELP! Need rear brake line banjo bolt ASAP
Going through the 3rd frustrating phase of trying to get rear brake calipers replaced on my car... After a huge fiasco of initially trying to rebuild the originals, failing, ordering $390 a pair NHT Performance Calipers which are defective upon arrival, sending them back, waiting 4 weeks to get a replacement, and then all the coordination of dropping them off the the shop, getting alternative transportation, etc. the replacements had powder-coating in the threads that had to be stripped out, and then to top it all off, they sent me the wrong calipers. They sent me the ones for 2003 and earlier cars that used the banjo bolt style brake line to connect to the caliper. Trying to avoid leaving the shop with bad rear brakes once again, we tried ordering the lines for the 2003 car that have the banjo bolt, but they don't have the actual banjo BOLT in them. I can't see any way to order the bolt from anywhere... Even on realoem, the diagram shows the bolt with the line and washers and calls it all by the same part number.
I am so frustrated right now...
Does anybody have or know where I can get the banjo bolt for the rear brake lines??
Help!

Ya, took a shot in the dark and ordered two. Unfortunately, every dealer west of the Mississippi is out of stock. Have to wait until Monday at the earliest to get one shipped out here.
These NHT Performance Calipers have been such a pain... I've been trying for months to get them installed. The quality is shabby and this fiasco is ridiculous.

I just called nugeon and asked for an RMA. They said I had to go through autopartswarehouse.com to get the RMA, but autopartswarehouse.com said the order was over 30 days ago!!! The order was over 30 days ago because the first RMA took 4 weeks round trip! And nugeon tells me even with the RMA, the calipers are built to order and won't ship out until next friday!
I can't believe I have to find yet another ride back to Escondido to pick up my car with bad brakes for the 3rd time.
