If you wanna go even cheaper Gary-k7 has posted a mod about how to drill your your existing banjo bolts to do this same thing. That mod is free excluding your time.

Personally for the money your spending here i would just get rid of the banjo Bolts all together and replace them with high pressure fittings. Makes the fule flow much less restricted and about the same money for just replacing the fittings. Makes it even better though when you replace the whole fuel line with some 1/2 inch/AN/6 hose and the high pressure fittings. Lets a lot more fuel flow then the stock 3/8 inch hard lines and mkes installing the aftermarket pump easier.

Yeah, guys drill them out, but sure seems to be a lot of dinking around - like Bubba said, if you get a Vlucan Big line kit, it eliminates the banjo bolts:

Probably seems like Im pushing the Vulcan stuff pretty hard but its very good stuff, well thought out, failry cheap, and just what the Dr. ordered. Its hard to find all this good stuff in one place - and they have it all.

Coming from the mouth of a fool here, GO WITH A KIT. It saves a lot of pain in the back side rather then tryin to build the whole system from parts and pieces and will almost always come out cheaper.
