323i Rear Caliper Banjo Fitting Brake Hose

Post by e21Keith »

OK, rebuilt my rear calipers myself and pretty happy with the job.
The car had the original Banjo rear hoses, I bought a set of replacements from Germany but the Banjo is not thick enough to enable me to fully tighten the banjo bolt, hence they are going to leak.
So what's the option. genuine hoses from BMW are £69 each +vat and I'd rather not spend that much.
Do I shorten the Banjo bolt by cutting, can I get the hoses cheaper elsewhere is there another option with regular hoses?

I think I got some on ebay. Just asked if they could provide only those. I'll see if I can find the seller. Havent fitted them yet so cant say if you would meet the same problem. I'll check cost too.

Bosch, 8 Euros each, from Germany. Link is to a Dutch language site but usually you get a pop up to choose language

Thanks for all the replies. The pair I bought on ebay sat in my garage for a year and it was only yesterday I discovered they were incorrect. Research on the W+N site shows what looks like the same hoses that I bought with new banjo bolts and washers, so my understanding is I just need to order a couple of new banjo bolts that are shorter.
