I have XT hydraulic brakes, and the lever was broken. Can I replace it with XTR levers?

thanks, Adi

I'm new to this forum so can't open a new thread, so here is my slightly related question.

I have XTR 966 dual control levers and XTR 965 disc calipers. I now want to replace the calipers with 2012 BR-M666 SLX calipers. My question: Can I use my current hoses and just change the banjo bolt (which is much longer for the BRM666 caliper) or do I need to change the hoses (in other words the banjo) as well.

I would love to just be able to swap over to the new calipers with nothing more than a new banjo bolt to purchase.

Can anyone advise?
