Default 312mm brake problem

The banjo bolt is missing on one of the calipers of the 312 brake set up I've just bought from ebay (I was aware of this when I bought them) I didn't think this would be an issue but it might be turning in to one ! just been to the Audi dealer and the banjo bolt isn't even listed as a spare on the fiche, Anybody have any idea where I can get one from ? will it be the same as the one already in my standard vrs caliper ? if so I could use one of them when I swap, don't want to take my existing banjo bolt out to check and have to re-bleed my brakes if one of you guys/gals can tell me.
Never seen this type of thread in a brake banjo bolt before! its very coarse 10mm dia.

regards, rob

same thread on both bolts , so nothing to worry about , just watch that you get them sealed , my copper washers allowed some seepage and took the paint off the back of the caliper

oh and the original flexi-hoses will do anyway , so no need to swap them , just adjust the mounting bracket on the shocker down slightly to give the pipe some slack
