Drop Base Air Filter & Banjo Fittings

Here's my solution to fitting fuel lines under a drop base air cleaner.

For the inlet: (9/16-24) Banjo Bolt

AND

Banjo Fitting

Then you'll need a 3/8 or 10mm banjo fitting and a banjo bolt for the fuel return side.

Make sure that you order the 10mm X 1.25 banjo bolt and not the 10mm X 1.5

Just in case anyone else has an early unit like mine and can't get a metric fitting to fit the return line:My return ended up being 3/8-20 BSF (British Standard Fine) for reasons unknown so I ended up finding a banjo bolt on ebay shipped from China. This bolt works well with a 10mm or 3/8 banjo fitting.

That's great advise. I will keep those part numbers handy.

Would be good if we could get EBAY items / links that ship to Australia.

My general search for the EARLS part numbers have a $38 freight charge on them from US...

So 2-3 months later, any issues with the banjo fittings? Seems its a weak link with pressure or throttle response. That's why initially shied away from them on my install.

Just curious, thanks

Almost 9000 miles and the banjo fittings haven't given me any problems at all.
