Brake line bolts
So, I just snapped the banjo bolt on my rear brake (yes...I over-tightened). I didn't think this was going to be a big deal, as I thought I could just pick one up at my local hardware store, but I quickly came to realize that nobody sells these.
I have looked on Amazon, and I can't say that I'm thrilled about having to fork over $15 for a single bolt...and then wait a week for it to get delivered (talk about adding insult to injury).
Just wondering if anyone knows of any places (online or in store) that sell these things.

Can you be more specific which brand and model. Also a picture would help.
Has the bolt snapped and part of it is stuck inside or the part that the bolt screws into,have the threads been stripped ?
Most modern cable clamp bolts are M5/M6 10mm bolts.
As the thread may be damaged you may need to buy the proper replacement part that detaches from the caliper (if available).0 -
Banjo bolts are usually fairly expensive for bikes. If you list the make and model of your brakes people would be able to provide more help. Amazon doesn't always have the best price so keep looking by trying to find out the part number or size for your bolt. If getting a generic make sure it is designed to work with the thickness of the banjo fitting. The flow holes may not match up if getting the wrong bolt.0
