Dan, I got that single fire setup from Morris Mags. It should show up on their web pages...
Looked for some brass or copper banjo bolt washers like these,
but nothing locally available, would have to go mail order
I've had good success using these in the past,
need to look closely at why they leaked this time...
I'm using these Russell banjo fittings, never had a problem with them before....
Got these brass 3/8" washers from Ace Hardware,
fits the 10 mm banjo bolt quite nicely....
Pulled the caliper off the front wheel, and tied it up on the handlebar
next to the master cylinder, so I wouldn't loose all the fluid...
And it leaked, no matter how tight I got the banjo bolt....
So I took a close look at these washers I used, they barely leaked at all,
and only when I put hard pressure on with the brake lever....
The washer on the left is good, it was on the outside of the banjo bolt....
However, the one on the right, next to the caliper, was severely deformed,
I suspect that is where the leak was coming from....
Took a close look at the caliper, there is a depression there,
a countersunk area that caused the washer to deform,
and as it would not seat properly, it leaked....
A better view without the banjo bolt.....
Several ways to dealing with this that I can think of:
- cut down a banjo bolt washer's OD to fit snugly inside this countersunk area....
- Remove the rim of the countersunk area on the caliper, to make the whole surface flat....
- Machine a spacer to fit in that countersunk space, and seal it in to make a flat surface....
Hmmmmm.....
