Default Goodridge banjo bolt?

In the process of upgrading to Z06 brakes and have a set of Goodridge SS lines. Followed the torque specs on the banjo bolt and snapped the head right off. Is there another brand banjo bolt that I can get as replacement to these that will match up with these lines or do I have to just get another one from goodridge?

What a bummer. I did Goodrich lines on my old C5Z because they specifically eliminated the banjo bolts. I guess it's not the same for all makes.

Did you do foot pounds instead of inch pounds?

The factory specs for the banjo bolt is like 33#. Those junk bolts snap at far less than that. Did you find a replacement?

I found this site, just don't know which bolt to order.

I'm putting c6 z06 calipers on my C5 using the West Coast Corvette stainless steel brake lines. I know there are forum members that have found banjo bolts that will take factory specs, I just don't know where they found them. 14# isn't enough IMO, the stress of suspension movement, turning, and vibrations will likely loosen those bolts up.
