Can not fined where to buy this screw! HELP
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi there!

I really need help with buying (not sure about right name of part) screw which goes between oil pressure adaptor and oil pressure switch!

You can see this screw on pic :


It is from mini metro turbo engine.

I spend all day looking for it in all local garages and shops and no one have it and knows where to get it :(

Maybe anyone have it? or any solution to this?

This is my daily car so I need it as soon as possible :(

Nothing special!

may be someone knows at least correct name for this part!!

Thank you for help :)

Nothing special!

The item is called a Banjo bolt . I would try one of the minishops who sell 2nd parts

It's a banjo bolt but not a normal one (because of the extra thread in the head of the bolt and the oversize head) - typical of Leyland to make things difficult.

There are other ways of connecting the turbo oil feed and the pressure switch (or gauge) at the front of the block, ie, Avobar sell a kit or just the fittings for the more modern braided oil feed pipe but I assume yours is the original metal one ???

TBH I'd put a (better) photo in the wanted section as someone who has changed to the more modern fittings may have a second hand one left over from an original Metro Turbo setup.

What's wrong with it anyway ???

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

you could drill and tap a standard bolt from the oil filter head to gallery pipe

yea, it is bit different :(
yes i have original one (metal), i am thinking now how to fix it till Tuesday
Is there goes high pressure? do rubber pipe will hold it?

look what is wrong with it!


basically, i do not need that switch i just want to make it work again, some how to connect it to gather with adopter :)

Anything you can do to get rid of the factory steel oil feed...is a wise investment.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

thank You for advice!

i made one bolt for now :) but it still little bit leaking :(

at least it is working for now :)

any advice what is better to buy instead this factory one?

Nothing special!

get a braided hose made up and T into the oil pressure switch hole on the front of the block. worked well on our van, all be it briefly...

what about turbo? is it will be ok there?

yea i should look for something better :)

Would a brake banjo bolt work? they are the same thread, although the head is smaller.

The air filter is just a K&N from minispares I believe
