Description
You know that hollow bolt with the curved fuel line attached to your Dexta’s injectors? That’s your banjo bolt, and when it’s worn or stripped, you’re looking at diesel leaks right where you don’t want them. A faulty banjo bolt doesn’t just waste expensive fuel—it can spray diesel onto hot engine parts, creating a fire hazard while robbing your trusty Dexta of the smooth power it’s known for.
What You’re Getting
- Precise thread pitch matches your original Ford Dexta specifications perfectly
- Proper hollow design maintains fuel flow while creating a secure seal
- Hardened steel construction handles high injection pressures without fatigue
- Direct replacement—no modifications or machining needed
- Quality threads won’t strip under normal tightening torque
Built for Real Farm Work
This banjo bolt fits Ford Dexta tractors and their 3-cylinder Perkins diesel engines. Whether you’re using your Dexta for hay work, running a small disc, or powering a rotary cutter around the farm, these compact 35-45 HP tractors still earn their keep on small operations and market gardens. When fuel system components fail, you need parts that restore the reliable performance these mechanical workhorses were built for.
Made to Last
The high-pressure diesel injection system on your Dexta operates at over 2000 PSI, so this banjo bolt is manufactured from hardened steel that won’t crack or fail under extreme pressure cycles. The threads are precisely cut to factory specifications, ensuring a proper seal when paired with new copper sealing washers.
Installation Notes
Always use two wrenches when removing the old bolt—one to hold the injector fitting steady, one to turn the banjo bolt. This prevents damage to expensive injection components. Replace the copper sealing washers at the same time; reusing old washers almost guarantees leaks. Don’t over-tighten—these bolts seal with the washer, not thread torque.
