A Banjo nut FYI

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Just an FYI and did you know!

 

The banjo bolt on our Rotax are yellow in color. The reason for this was from being treated with a corrosion resistant yellow dye.

Not any more. The yellow dye is poisonous and now not allowed in Europe so the new banjo bolt from Rotax are silver colored.

Hi All,

 

Thanks for the picture Jaak.

 

The Rotax has a couple of banjo bolts. You have 1-2 on top of the fuel line cross over tube and one really big one on the bottom of the engine for the oil. It is a bolt that has a hole drill through it length wise and then up by the head a cross wise hole. This allows any fluid to pass through the bolt and into a line or hose.

Ah, I see clear now about banjo bolts. Thanks a lot for the private lesson :D :D :D

 

Please allow one more little question. As far as I understand, a nut is the item which fits a bolt and which has a hexagonal shape in most cases. Banjo bolts are usually screwed to the inside thread of a caliper, carburetor or something like this. Where can I find a banjo nut?

 

Greetings
