These are about £6 each. I've never used them.

the link posted by cap'n bobo is for the brass banjo bolt for fuel line to connect to water separator in the inner wing..(C 13705 ) not as in demand as the rocker oil feed banjo bolts.. and brass costs more than steel..yet the ebay one referenced almost 1/2 the price ...
Jaguar XK engines use the exact same part (C4146 for the 4 'short' ones) and there have been millions of them produced, plus its a part that has good demand due to the fact they are often damaged.. so id suspect you can do better by shopping around with competing suppliers.... ..Kudos to Russ for making his own.. Ive personally never tried to do so.. quite a bit of work to fabricate them Id think..

I have a fully equipped ww/shop with pillar drills etc.. its never straightforward to get the hole bang on centre in a drill press however.. easy to achieve with a small lathe though .. given they are readily obtainable, I simply use originals.. but agreed.. not too much problem to make your own of you have the right tools.. and they can be made far stronger than originals.. the short head of which leads itself to easy damage ..the common problem is rounded off flats ..second one being stretching due to overtightening.. and sometimes they break if weakened .. commonly flush with the head .. extraction difficult in situ.. easy if on the bench though . For the XK engines there are braided flex lines available from normal suppliers.. fittings for which can be obtained to fabricate ones own.. ( I think UK sellers of 'flexolite filter adaptors' carry all that stuff)
