I've just ordered some off a chap on ebay, he told me i would need M10x1.25

hope this helps, Jez

Thanks for your replies , Kwakerman I do not think they are M10 the banjo bolts are M10 and the bleed nipples are a littlt smaller than that.

Hello Steve, my 1980 Z is M7 with 1.25 pitch, i think the banjos' were M10. All the bolts on my bike were a 1.25 pitch thread no matter what size.
Hope that helps Archie.
