Cobra brake upgrade questions

Black'02 · Mar 28, 2009

I bought the cobra 10th anniversary brake upgrade from buyfordracing but had a slight issue with installation.

I was attaching the new lines to the caliper with the correct (coarse threaded) banjo bolts. I referenced a haynes manual which listed a torque spec of 29ft/lbs, however as I was tightening the bolt it snapped right in half before I hit 29 ft/lbs. Luckily I was able to find a place locally that sells the same kit, and I picked up a new set of banjo bolts. I was wondering if anyone knew the correct torque spec for these bolts. So I don't have this problem again. Thanks for the help! :SNSign:

Tight enough that they don't leak. That torque spec was probably supposed to be 29 in. Lb. and was likely a misprint. I've never used a torque spec on banjo bolts, personally. Just tightened them up and went about my business.
