    safety wiring Galfer Superbike brake lines

    I recently purchased Galfer's Superbike brake lines and realized there is no way you can drill through the inline banjo bolts at the caliper.

    is RTV acceptable or do they have to be safety wired?

    Banjo bolts is only a recommendation. You can drill the corners of the bolts for safety wire FYI?

    1. Brake caliper mount bolts and brake torque arm bolts must be secured by safetywire, cotter pins or other approved means. Axle nuts must be safety wired, orcastellated nuts secured with cotter pins or hitch pins. Hitch pin or “hair pin”clips must be safety wired closed. Self-locking nuts are not acceptable.
    2. All nuts or fittings which drain fluid when removed including filler caps (exceptfuel cap), and drain plug must be secured with safety wire or other approvedmeans. Oil filter or oil filter cover bolts must be safety wired or secured in
      an approved manner. It is recommended that brake line banjo bolts be eithersecured with safety wire, silicone, or 3M weather strip adhesive.

      Oil il coolers need to be wired as well.
