Does a banjo bolt have to line up?
The banjo bolt passes through the center of the fitting, which also has a hole in it. Those seals allow fluid to pass around the bolt, which means the holes do not need to line up unlike a standard threaded fitting, making installation of flexible lines easy (and in many cases, even possible in the first place.)
