Default 1993/94 F2 front brake double banjo bolt

Dear Friends,
I need some help from the experts here on the forum on a small query over the double banjo bolt which can fix the front master cylinder of the F2/F3.

My plan is to remove the T split in the brake lines and replace them with 2 separate individual lines feeding each caliper individually. for this mod i would need a double banjo bolt which fixes on to the stock F2/F3 master cylinder and help me fixing 2 brake lines for the front calipers.

Here are the different sizes available on ebay with free shipping options to India. Priced at 9 USD. Please help me which size would fit in the stock master cylinder.

Thread Size : M10, P1.0
A : Total Length =34.5mm (1.36inch )
B : Hex 14, thickness =4.29mm (0.17inch )
C : Thread length =30mm (1.18inch )

Thread Size : M10, P1.0
A : Total Length =42.4mm (1.67inch )
B : Hex 14, thickness =4.29mm (0.17inch )
C : Thread length =38mm (1.5inch )

Thread Size : M10, P1.25
A : Total Length =34.3mm (1.35inch )
B : Hex 14, thickness =4.29mm (0.17inch )
C : Thread length =30mm (1.18inch )

Thread Size : M10, P1.25
A : Total Length =43.3mm (1.7inch )
B : Hex 14, thickness =4.29mm (0.17inch )
C : Thread length =39mm (1.54inch )

Here is the ebay link for the double banjo's sold by this seller.
Appreciate if someone can look into it and get me the correct size fit.

It should be one of the 10x1.25 ones. Take yours to a hardware store, auto parts store, auto repair shop, or machine shop and ask them to measure the pitch for you. Any one with a tap and die tool has a pitch gauge in it. The length depends on how thick your banjo fittings are. If your fittings are the same as what's one it now, measure the length of your bolt and add the width of the fitting. Otherwise, measure the length of thread that goes into the master and add the width of the new fitting twice.

Buy both lengths just to be sure. With the shipping costs alone, it worth $9 to not be wrong.
Don't forget, you'll need 3 crush washers to seal it.

Do you already have some new brake lines for your bike? The set that I put on my bike came with the double banjo bolt as part of the kit.

Okies guys. Since i was just planning to remove the T split and use the rubber lines with the double banjo and i was told that it wont make any difference in braking. So probably i wont go ahead with that mod.
I dont have braided lines yet, may b i will wait to have to braided lines first and will get the bolt with the kit.

Wise choice. Not much point playing with the lines if you aren't upgrading to braided lines and you get everything you need with the kits for the lines so it's a straight forward install.
