Default Banjo bolt for fuel filter - where to get a new one?

I'm after the banjo bolts that goes into the fuel filter on an RST.

Ford stopped making them , so on the hunt elsewhere. Any ideas? What cars had the same filter - Audi, VW????

What thread size are they? I know that there are 2 sizes on the filter, but I'm mainly after the larger of the two (petrol tank side)

Driving me mad, as I can't get my XR2 turbo started unless I get one.

Why not get some fuel lines off a MK5 escort and use them, no bolts then, all push fittings

Many thanks all.

The small issue I have is that the local Hydraulics places round here want a min order of £5! The bolts themselves are only about £1 each.

I'll give them a go to see if I can squander another freebee from them.
