Question Akebono with Stock Brake Lines

There are different answers to this question and I'd appreciate if someone knows exactly what I need to make the stock OEM lines work with my Akebono Set-Up.

From what I understand the Akebono BBK uses a different banjo bolt than the non-sports? So I need to find and order 4 of these banjo bolts?

What do I need in order to use my OEM lines with the akebono?

Thanks!

Upgraded Brakes From Base to Sport, Pics - Page 3 - Nissan 370Z Forum

I came across this thread and post but it doesn't say anything about any bolts? Does the hard-line bolt up straight to the caliper without any banjo bolts? There's only a mounting bracket for the rears and not fronts? Is there somewhere to mount this bracket if my car isn't factory equipped with the Akebono?...

If I purchase these OEM lines, what exactly bolts up to the caliper?

1. 46246-JK60B left front caliper hard line
1. 46245-JK60B right front caliper hard line
1. 46315-JL00A right rear caliper hard line
1. 46316-JL00A left rear caliper hard line

1. 55286-1MA0A right rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
1. 55287-1MA0A left rear hard brake line caliper mounting bracket
4. 01121-04761 bolt for mounting rear caliper bracket

There's no straight-forward thread that explains the process of upgrading to BBK. Just a lot of mixed information here and there. After the install I'll post up a thread explaining exactly what you need.

Let me know so I can finally install this BBK!

Thanks

Your options are

1. Order new banjo bolts
2. Get extra copper crush washers and reuse the stock banjo bolt (easiest and cheapest fix)
3. Buy new stainless steel lines that include banjo bolt and washers

Do you know anywhere that sells the banjo bolt separately?

Thanks
