Bizarre Problem - HELP!!
I was finishing up installing the 951Max chips into my car, when, tightening down the banjo bolt for the KLR, the threaded section of the bolt snapped off in the KLR housing. I was even using extra care in working with this banjo bolt, because I didnt want to lose the rubber sealing washers.
So, now I have a useless banjo bolt and a KLR with half a banjo bolt stuck inside. What do I do?!?

Got the bolt out fairly easy. Bristol Motor Works just called to tell me they DON'T have the banjo bolt I need. Do you have one for me, nynor?
Does anyone else have one, if nynor doesn't?

based on that pic, what's the difference between this banjo bolt and the coolant bleeder screw? They look very similar.

not sure of the size of the bleeder screw, but the banjo bolt is tiny.

The bleeder screw cost me 6 bucks from Brumos. That'sprobabaly 3 bucks to the rest of the world, but I'd go ahead and ask them if time is of the essence here.
