Most disk brake hoses use a M10 fine bolt thread. Dowty washers or bonded seals as they are known as usually come in bsp sizes but it is possible to get metric ones and I may have some M10 at work, i'll have a look tomorrow for you.
many thanks.

what he said also the bango can vary in thickness i had this prob when i changed the standard scootrs hose for a stainless one from a well known dealer i ended up using a bolt from a dragster as there about 3mm shorterwack 63 wrote:The main problem is the shank is too long on the RS banjo bolt and bottoms before it crushes the washer.
