GMA's are 1/8" NPT thread , not a lot of meat to get the right depth for a straight thread the banjos need and cross threads some of whats there already . I've had to repair a few where guys have tried what your wanting and screwed the pooch doing it , be very careful to not get any shaving into the caliper body the GMA's are softer than stock it will eat the piston bore .
