The thread on a banjo fitting is the same as the thread on the straight in
hose end, and both seal with crush washers - Mini Cooper S uses the straight
hose fittings, so I checked.  So, just order some banjo bolts and new crush
washers, double check the sizes as there are two common sizes of banjo bolt
(3/8 and 7/16), and don't forget that there are two different size of crush
washer for the stock fittings.
