Could you explain though, do I have to get a banjo bolt? Why not just a regular bolt? easier to get than going to the yard, especially if someone has the thread size of it?
Any bolt that will thread into that spot and seal enough to get out to the gauge will be fine. Excercise caution and make sure the threads match the bolt that comes out of there. I dont even want think about the consequences of mucking up those threads!!

truknik suggested that bolt so thats what I went with. I luckily have ready access to several yards around here.
