Anyone know where I could find a tapped banjo locally? Plumbing store? NAPA?

 

Look in the phone book for hose supply houses and they should be able to direct you. Doubt that you will find them at a typical auto parts store but maybe at a performance shop.

 

Holler at Jimmy, he knows of a hydraulic hose place, they should have them...

 

I give up..Im just going to get them from Diesel Manor or Glacier

 

make your own if you have to. i did. got a drill press and the required drill and tap?
just make sure you locate center

 

Oh really.. I do have a drillpress and taps. What are you using the stock bolt?

 

when i installed my l/p gauge, i tapped the cp3 inlet banjo fitting for a 1/4"npt fitting.

 

Sweet... Thanks for the idea. Thats way better than spending $13+shipping for a new one Drill press here I come

 

just be sure to debur and thoroughly get all the chips out of the fitting.

also notice the wall thickness of the fitting, and how much you are going to remove by drilling and tapping. i was able to leave 0.090" wall thickness after i was done.
the pressure is low(under 20psi) so no worries.

 

Couple more questions... are you just drilling until you hit the hollow part of the fitting? Im only putting in an 1/8" NPT tap so I think there should be plenty of meat left.

 

yes i just drilled until i went through. you arent trying to flow any volume through there, so a small hole will be just fine.
1/8" will leave plenty of meat...

 

Thanks a lot man... Im sure Stacked97 will be happy to hear that to because his truck is next

 

do his first. guinea pig his rig.

 

lol..he wanted me to go first.

 

figures. same thing happened here when i did diy cp3 mods. made me go first on my truck
