@Mishimoto

I am using the banjos and silver sandwich plate for my custom Oil Cooler and I noticed one of the Banjos was leaking oil. Turns out both Banjos had worked their way loose after about 1000 road miles and a trackday.

I contacted my local Mishimoto UK tech support and was told use PTFE or Threadlock (my suggestion).

They both seal fine when torqued up properly.

I am happy to use threadlock but is that a proper fix for this or are the parts at fault?
