I am getting a SLX 4 pot calipers to replace my Deore 2 pots ones and know I need some new banjo connectors.
Something like this:


Will I need another bolt or connector as well? Or can I use the connector that comes already on the end of my deore brake hose (bike not arriving for weeks, but want to get parts in advance).

thanks!

The brake hose is factory attarched to the caliper, you can just connect that hose to the existing levers.
I bought a standalone caliper so no hose. I want to reuse the one that is already attached to by levers and internally routed. But it needs extra hardware in the end of the hose as deore doesn't have a banjo. I know I need the thing I linked, but I don't know if the additional bolt that goes through the banjo into the caliper is already part of the existing deore caliper, or if I need a new bolt.

Ah yes I didn't know the deore don't use the same banjo/screw as the others.
You will need that bonjo bolt on top, ref Y-2RV98010
