Anyone have a source for the 12 x 1.25 banjo bolt needed to replace the fuel pulsation dampener? What length is it? The Mazda dealer in town can get one for the end opposite the dampener which I am assuming is the same thing I need. $7,, ouch! Any other place to get them, I have tried everyone including Summit, etc.
Thanks,

IIRC, the end opposite of the PD is not the same size

 

My info shows that the opposite end is 14 X 1.5

 

robrike, you got no hydraulic or hose fitting places near you?

They'd have what your looking for.

 

mazdatrix has them too

I just got one from summit anyone know how to do a install for a the banjo bolt for the pulsation dampener replacement and will it effect the fuel system ?

 

its just like regular bolt, clockwise is tightening, counterclockwise is loosing.....

 

Thanks for the info on the different size on the end. I have got to order a new motor mount from Mazdatrix so I will have them add the bolt to the order. I tried a hydraulic place near me but their "new owners" instituted a $50 minimum order policy in January.
Thanks again,
Rob

 

yes, it has been posted many many times... Using a Banjo bolt instead of a proper pulstation dampener; there is possible damage to the injectors, and splitting of fuel lines (if they are old) as well as possible lean spots in the performance /fuel curve.

A Banjo bolt should be considered a temporary non-performance, get it down the road until you can get money fix.
