bolt with same thread and a copper washer should be fine

astra_coupe · 28-08-2008, 12:34

any ideas on what the threads are?

You have the engine out so it should be easy to work out.
If you don't have a thread gauge take the banjo bolt to a shop and get them to give you some bolts with the same thread.
As for the hose behind the head you can put bolt in that with a clamp or fit an SR20DE coolant line which lacks the turbo feed section.
