Yes.  The banjo fitting has 1/4" flare threads at one end for pipe, and a7/16 
or half inch x 20 threaded bolt, Banjo bolt, going into the wheel cyl.  Use 
new copper washers on each side of  banjo fitting on reassembly.  Banjo bolt 
gets rusty, but should be available at local parts store as some disc brakes 
also use them.  Watch length of replacement bolt.
