Exclamation AFC banjo snapped, HELP asap

Today I broke the AFC banjo bolt on my truck . Is there any chance a banjo bolt for brakes would fit? If not can I just plug the hole and drive the truck until I get a banjo bolt?

Was planning on driving the truck to work tomorrow. I could really use some quick input. Thanks

You can drill and tap it for .25 pipe thread and go to the local hardware store and pick up parts and line to make it work. Look in the sticky for the valet switch install and it will help out some.
If I were stuck and had to drive the truck I would, I drove a couple of days with a broken afc line, which would be about the same as your situation but you will have a bigger boost leak.

I just plugged the afc hole and hole in the intake for now, surprisingly it dont drive much different. It is alot less smokey which i like, but of course I dont feel that kick from the turbo as much now so If I cant find a bolt I'll probly try doin like the link said.
