Hydraulic pump, Type 44 - questions

[David Conner]

BCNU,
Thanks for the scoop.  It sure would be nice if Bentley would include this
kind of explanation along w/ their dire warnings.

Do you know how to identify the correct banjo bolts for a particular pump?
Or is this also something that's not such a big deal as Bentley would imply?
