One is drilled straight through and the other is only drilled through one side to the center feed hole. I started measuring the holes. Here's the "what I discovered " part of my surprised state. First let me add , my experience is with straight through drilled banjo bolts. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">So, the size of the single drilled hole is the same area as the straight through drilled one combining the 2 holes in area. My initial concern was an unbalanced pressure between the 2 different banjo bolts.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">I've seen banjo bolts literally twist from over tightening. The evidence is the cross drilled holes start to become oval shaped. Now, is the single ( larger diameter hole) hole version a stronger banjo bolt than a cross drilled one? Or! Is the cross drilled one and the single hole one from 2 different manufacturers? Just a curiosity I've encountered .....Frank-ly speaking.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Any opinions or solid evidence is what is better, stronger or should I consult my cat? That could be a CAT-tastrophy!</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Chuck.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Yes! I do pay ( not rent!) attention to every detail I can , especially if I'm going to drive it fast!</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></p><div id="SignatureBox" dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Sent from my LG Mobile</div></div>
