Default Eureka moment

After searching automotive parts shops on several continents for the missing connectors without any luck I decided to try out Minakers scrapyard which is just down the road from me. Randy, the current owner, went into the "inner sanctum" and in short order came out with some switches of an unknown origin, with the right connectors. Had to sacrifice the switches, but now have the right connectors. Nice to be able to rebuild the junction boxes and remain faithful to the original design.

Default Still kicking

Guys,

Between a trip out west and spring time projects, not much progress. As a matter of fact while I was gone the engine slipped in the queue. Hopefully this month... The radiator is now gone out for rebuild. On the plus side I got the fuel tanks back and a slow but steady arrival of more parts. Garage time is still prime time.

Peter

Default Banjo bolts

Guys, At times I feel that life and mother nature is conspiring to keep me out of the garage. Now replumbing the brakes. I'm now looking for two "banjo bolts. Ford terminology is "bolt-front brake connector". They are 1/2"-20 by 1 3/8". Thanks to Rob Love I was able to source the wheel cylinders without an issue, but so far no luck with the banjo bolts. Then, as Super Dave says, on to the next hurdle. My Lynx manual has the part number as 91T 2276, with alternative as NA/BR 190014. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks, Peter

It's the correct bolt based on the number you provided.
