I’ve just received my new 4 pot XT caliper off my LBS and come to fit it but the existing banjo bolt from the 8000 caliper is too long to fit the new one. There is no hardware of that ilk in the box.

Any ideas which piece of Shimano hardware I need to fit it?

He doesn't need Os, just a bolt 😆

Well after one steady ride there’s an obvious increase in power and modulation compared to the twin pot caliper, I haven’t ridden anything particularly steep yet so the performance when the going gets tough remains to be seen. But initial signs are positive.... and the advice re required banjo bolt was spot on, so thanks all
