When fitting AP Calipers , as an upgrade , do the Bolts from standard calipers fit. Same for fitting Brake Hose is the Banjo bolt identical.  |

Yes and yes. Not normally a problem I have had a few long banjo bolts, but careful trimming ensures sufficient thread engagement. New washers are needed really, but I've never had any problems over the years  |

you will need new (longer) caliper/hub bolts, the banjo should fit without issue.

New caliper/hub bolts ordered plus washers for Banjo. Nobody seems to have stock of Banjo bolts. Anyone have a description and size? May as well fit new , as I've managed to acquire NEW AP Calipers.  |

I fitted multispoke 16" wheels with 3mm spacers and a little filing of the calipers to get a bit more clearance.
They were no problem while they were on the car.

Funny, I had the front calipers off yesterday and the bolts from the original calipers were fine, full length etc  I might invest in some stainless banjo bolts if I can find any. |
