Never known a banjo bolt snap......so no need to replace....

Its not these that strip the cooler threads....its the bigger flat nut that secures the cooler to the plate...

I had a banjo bolt snap under v little pressure on my project Elite...

Thankfully managed to get one of those rounded bolt sockets tight over he snapped body of the bolt and remove it...
